In the context of escalating protests against the UNRWA’s decisions of reducing financial aid for Palestinian refugees, dozens of Palestinian Syrians who are displaced in Lebanon carried out several sit-ins.
The sit-ins were held at Al Burj Al Shamali, Al Rashideia, and Mieh Mieh camps in the cities of Tire and Sidon southern Lebanon in front of the UNRWA office, denouncing the recent UNRWA’s decisions of cutting shelter allowance.
Protesters demanded the Palestinian factions, the PLO, and human rights organizations to take immediate action to put pressure on UNRWA in order to back down these decisions.
At the end of the sit-in, Palestinians of Syria and Palestinian popular committees delivered a memorandum to the director of UNRWA demanding to reconsider its decision, which will have negative repercussions on the living and humanitarian conditions of Palestinian refugees displaced from Syria in Lebanon
