Over 120000 Palestinian refugees in Syria have fled the country including around 31000 to Lebanon and 16000 to Jordan according to the UNRWA.
In its Syria emergency appeal for 2017 the UNRWA stated that 430000 (95 percent) of the estimated 450000 Palestinian refugees still inside Syria are in critical need for sustained humanitarian assistance in order to survive.
Almost 280000 Palestinians are internally displaced and an estimated 43000 people are trapped in hard-to-reach or inaccessible locations such as Yarmouk Khan Eshieh and Muzeireb and Jillin in Dera’a the Organization noted.
In 2017 the UNRWA says it requires 411 million dollars for its urgent humanitarian response to the Syria crisis.
