Palestinian Refugees in Syria During the Syrian Civil War

Marcin Szydzisz

Abstract


The article is an attempt to describe situation of Palestinian refugees during the Syrian Civil War. The author explains the attitude of the conflict’s main parties towards Palestinians. The paper also presents the stance of Palestinian parties (Hamas and PLO) and Palestinian refugees towards the Assad regime and rebels. Unfortunately, fights have been occurring in Palestinian camps, too (especially in the Yarmouk camp), so Palestinians are also victims of the conflict.


Keywords


Palestine, Palestinian refugees, Syria, Yarmouk camp
