Palestinian refugees in Iraq complained of the constant "loss" they are experiencing in light of the blockage of the dream of resettlement, immigration or return to their homes, and they seemed as if they were hostages of an international position standing by them.

Palestinian refugee Khaled Mohammed Salameh says, "We live today like a third setback, and we do not know where we are going to settle as if we were facing an official international decision to harass us."

Salama notes that they "now lack the support of the Iraqi government and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and even find some inconveniences such as cutting aid until they find themselves forced to choose a destination for refugee camps in the Kurdistan region of Iraq after they have tried the failure of stability in Turkey."

Real loss
Palestinian refugee refugee Fadwa Saleh Abu Jazia supports what Salama said, adding, "Our old children are unable to move because of the end of their residency, and we cannot provide the amount of accumulated fines for their renewal. The future of our generations is in a dark tunnel spiral, as they do not know which country they belong to."

For his part, Ihab Zakaria Al-Hadidi, a refugee in the Harakah camp in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, stressed six years ago that the most important demand at this critical stage, which he described as a period of real loss, is the United Nations claiming the right of return to become like other citizens of other countries belonging to a homeland of their nationality.

It is closer to the opinion that Abu Jazia concluded her speech on Al-Jazeera Net by saying, "The Iraqi government and the United Nations must either grant us Iraqi citizenship, resettle in another country, or return us to our home country."

Fog of rights
And a diagnosis of the situation of Palestinian refugees in the country, Dr. Hoshyar Malu, President of the Kurdistan Organization for Human Rights, says that Iraq is one of the few countries that do not have a system or policy document for the refugee issue as in its counterparts from countries where any citizen can know the asylum strategy in terms of the time of receipt of residence and what His and him rights, which are negative repercussions, compound the tragedy of these refugees.

Malo continues his speech by saying that Iraq during the previous regime had had some kind of sympathy for the Palestinians, and the current government is not interested in foreign refugees, and indicates that the situation has become humanitarian worsening after the United Nations faltered in fulfilling previous obligations to cover the costs of this segment.

Commenting on her criticism of her performance, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, through its official Firas Al-Khatib, said that it adopts a transparent, clear and fair policy regarding the assistance provided to refugees in Iraq, who exceeded 270 thousand refugees of different nationalities.

Refugees deny any international role, and Fadwa Saleh Abu Jazia says that aid has diminished and financial support is absent, which is the same statement made by the Palestinian refugee, Salama.

In the camps of the Kurdistan region, the Palestinians find a safe haven, which was mentioned by most of the arrivals to Bharka camp in Erbil in recent months.

The camp director Badr al-Din Najm al-Din says, “We provide humanitarian and logistical support to these refugees by all means that provide them with relief. As for matters related to identification documents, the most important of which is residence, it is one of the duties of the Iraqi government.”
