“In
Syria, more than 50 percent of the 550,000 refugees registered by UNRWA
(The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in
the Near East) have been displaced by the conflict, with over half of the
12 Palestinian refugee camps where we work transformed into theatres of
war. On World Refugee Day, the plight of this often-forgotten population
must be acknowledged, and the dramatic context in which they struggle to
survive, understood in all its complexity. Let us not forget that this is a crisis with a human face, be it
those shell-shocked children in Yarmouk, the ex-businessman in the UNRWA food
line in Gaza or any of the five million individual refugees registered with us. "No amount of aid will ever make up for the denial oftheir rights and dignity."
Pierre Krahenbuhl is the the Commissioner General of UNRWA.
Did you read that correctly……“no
amount of aid will ever make up for the denial of their rights and dignity”…..the
Western world is subsidizing this cruelty….denying people their basic human
rights and trampling their human dignity….and I want to know who is going to take the lead to stop this inhumanity?
