Khayra Ummah charity handed over food baskets to Palestinian refugees in Turkey’s southern city of Osmaniye and in Reyhanli.
Fast-breaking meals for children were also distributed by the charity in Reyhanli as part of the international campaign to preserve Palestinian identity “Intimaa”.
Unofficial statistics indicate that 8,000 Palestinians from Syria have sought shelter in Turkey, where they have been facing dire socio-economic conditions and denied access to the local labor market.
Turkish embassies continue to prevent Palestinian refugees from Syria from obtaining visas. As a result, hundreds of Palestinians have embarked on life-threatening journeys via illegal immigration roads to reach Turkey, fleeing war-tattered Syria, among other war-stricken zones.
