Joint Commission calls for affording Palestinian refugees their basic human rights

The Joint Commission of Palestinian Refugees in Gaza called on the countries and governments hosting Palestinian refugees to grant them all of their human rights and alleviate their economic suffering until their cause is solved. 

In a statement released on the occasion of World Refugee Day, it called on the international community to take responsibility for ending the suffering of the Palestinian refugees and providing them with legal and political support. It also called for securing their rights, mainly right to return and compensation, and to apply the related resolutions, mainly the UN Resolution 194. 

It confirmed that the cause of the Palestinian refugees is the longest and oldest misery in the history of refuge as the United Nations is still unable to end their suffering and implement its resolutions which are being voted on every year, especially Resolution 194. 

It noted that more than 6 million Palestinian refugees registered in UNRWA are still suffering the pain of refuge resulting from being displaced from their homes in 1948. (The Nakba)

It called on UNRWA to take responsibility for providing education, health care, and all humanitarian services for the Palestinian refugees. 

It also confirmed that there is no alternative to the Palestinians' right to return to their homeland, and rejected all projects that aim at undermining the international law and denying the refugees' rights of their lands in Palestinian.
