Stranded Palestinian Refugees at Syrian-Iraqi Borders Expose to Sand-Storm


SYRIAN-IRAQI BORDERS, April 19, 2007, (WAFA)-Al-Tanf, Palestinian refugee camp at the Syrian-Iraqi borders was exposed on Thursday to sand storm resulting in uprooting and tearing tents.

Media sources reported that the stranded refugees in al-Tanf camp have been living under harsh conditions , where some diseases spread among them, particularly children.

Worth mentioning, some of the Palestinian refugees living in Iraq have fled homes in light of increasing killing and assaults against them.

UNHCR said at least 186 Palestinians have been murdered in Baghdad between April 2004 and January 2007, while about 15,000 Palestinians remain in Iraq, fewer than half the number who had lived there previously.
