Over 150,000 Palestinian refugees fled Syria in ten years: monitor

The Action Group for Palestinians of Syria  said more than 150,000 Palestinian refugees have fled Syria since 2011.

The Britain-based monitoring group said Saturday that over 150,000 refugees fled war-torn Syria since the outbreak of the conflict in 2011, including 125,000 to Europe, 17,000 to Jordan, 27,000 to Lebanon, 3,500 to Egypt, 500 in Sudan, 10,000 to Turkey, and 4,000 to Greece.

AGPS, also, said that the number of Palestinian refugees displaced from their homes inside Syria is estimated at nearly 270,000, including approximately 8,100 refugees living in 18 shelter centers provided by UNRWA in Syria.

More than 3,500 refugees housed in 13 non-UNRWA facilities located in Damascus, Aleppo and Latakia, the group said.

AGPS has documented the death of over 4,000 Palestinian refugees in Syria, including 484 women and girls, since 2011 as a result of war-related incidents.

Scores of Palestinian refugees have also been left wounded, including dozens who have undergone limb amputation or eye loss.

Over 1,790 Palestinians have, meanwhile, been enduring mysterious fates in Syrian dungeons.
