Dozens of Palestinian refugees from Husseneia camp gathered on the borders of Husseneia area hoping to return to their camp and their homes, after the entry of a delegation from the UNRWA and the General Authority for Palestinian Arab refugees to inspect UNRWA installations in the camp and to see the progress of the restoration and maintenance of those facilities.
After the completion of the exploratory round, the Commissioner-General of UNRWA delivered a speech at the Women Center in the camp in which he stressed the need for the return of residents to camp in order to alleviate their suffering. He also stressed the UNRWA’s continuing reform and rehabilitation process for the facilities that were damaged, as he also expressed the readiness of the agency to carry out its humanity responsibilities towards the Palestinians of Syria.
For their part, some residents who were able to enter the camp with the UNRWA delegation asked many questions about the date of their return to their homes and how, as they demanded to return as soon as possible, but it was not a specific date for their awaited return since they were abandoned and displaced from the camp of about 514 days respectively. The Syrian regime forces evacuated the camp and closed it.

It should be noted that the Syrian regular army had entered Husseneia camp supported by members of Fatah al-Intifada and the Struggle Front in October 2013, as they evacuated the camp of all its residents. Till now there are about (42000) Palestinian refugees and (3000) Syrians from Husseneia camp are still displaced outside the camp.
