    In Sbeineh near Damascus, I saw the remarkable work carried out by teams in rehabilitating its schools & clinic in the camp. Played a key role in supporting return of first group of 10’000 Palestine refugees who had been displaced for over 4 years by conflict.

    In Yalda, met with Palestine refugees displaced from Yarmouk. They spoke of horrors they have gone through. Relatives killed or missing, homes destroyed. All wanted to know if they would be able to return to Yarmouk.

    Deeply moving visit to in Syria. Once home to 160’000 Palestine refugees, camp now lies in utter ruin. Have rarely - if ever - seen destruction on such colossal scale. Heard countless tales of loss & trauma from refugees who survived the different phases of conflict.
