In Turkey, life for Syrian refugees and Kurds is becoming increasingly violent - The conversation

A spate of attacks in Turkey on Syrian refugees and Kurdish internal migrants and displaced people in recent months have put both communities on edge. In July, a Syrian teenager working as a market seller in Bursa, northwestern Turkey, died after he was attacked by a group of men.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, nationalist identity politics have played a critical role in systematic violence against minorities in Turkey, particularly Armenians, Assyrians, Greeks and Kurds. This violent, assimilationist approach is borne out of Turkification policies which promote a Sunni-Turkish identity while denying minority rights.

Lebanon needs two-week lockdown after COVID-19 spike: Minister - Gulf today

Lebanon should be locked down for two weeks after a spike in COVID-19 infections, the caretaker government’s health minister was quoted as saying on Monday.

“We declare today a state of general alert and we need a brave decision to close (the country) for two weeks,” Hamad Hassan told Voice of Lebanon radio.

Lebanon registered a record 439 new coronavirus cases in 24 hours on Sunday.

COVID-19 infects Syrians in Lebanon, spreads in refugee camp - Arabnews

The number of coronavirus infections in Lebanon exceeded 2,300 on Sunday after 130 people, mostly Syrians, contracted the disease.
The people work for Ramco, which undertakes waste collection and street sweeping in Mount Lebanon and areas in Beirut. They live in a building in the Metn region that is owned by Ramco and houses 240 workers.
The cases were recorded after a routine temperature check on some workers, a measure undertaken by all Lebanese institutions. Tests recorded 120 Syrians and 11 Lebanese workers as having contracted the virus.

The forgotten refugees of Palestine and Syria - IOL

In many refugee camps around the world, death by starvation has become a bigger threat than the coronavirus.

This is the result of an appalling abdication of responsibility by governments to protect refugees in what is fast becoming a human rights catastrophe.

In Lebanon, which hosts an estimated 1.5 million Syrian refugees and 175,000 Palestinian refugees, seven out of 10 refugee households have lost their livelihoods and are barely surviving. Refugees are far more afraid of hunger than Covid-19.

Lebanon has descended into economic collapse and its people are struggling to provide for themselves, which has eroded the capacity for even the smallest acts of generosity towards the refugees.

Coronavirus spread to Palestine refugee camps in Lebanon - Middle East Monitor

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said yesterday that the coronavirus has already spread into some of the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, the Anadolu Agency reported.

In a statement, the head of UNRWA’s Health Department, Abdul Hakim Shanaa, called on Palestinian refugees in the camps to adhere to health guidelines, maintain a safe distance and stay away from crowded places, out of respect for public health and individual responsibility.

Lebanon: COVID-19 exacerbates already-impossible living situation for Syrian refugees - Action Agains Hunger report

Most refugees do not have sufficient access to basic water, sanitation and hygiene services and infrastructure. The national water and sanitation network is weak and, even before the Syrian crisis, in some parts of Lebanon, residents had to use costly techniques typically associated with emergency settings –such as water trucking and desludging – to meet their needs.

Refugees in informal settlements rely on the limited amount of water brought in through water-trucking, an expensive method that compromises their dignity. Absence of permanent solutions to access to water and sanitation structures, such as connection to municipal water and sanitation networks, contribute to this issue. Together, these factors are increasing refugees’ risk of exposure to infectious and preventable diseases and other health issues.

When COVID-19 hit Lebanon, citizens were asked to improve their hygiene practices and follow social distancing protocols to slow the spread of the virus. But implementation of these practices in refugee camps - where water is scarce and people depend on humanitarian organizations for water supplies - is particularly difficult. Refugees only receive between seven and nine gallons of water per day, depending on the area where they lived – falling far short of the World Health Organization’s recommended 26 gallons per day. Furthermore, overcrowding and poor sanitation in camps make physical distancing difficult, exposing refugees to enormous health risks.

These refugees have built a Lego robot to fight COVID-19 - World Economic Forum

Living in close quarters and with basic health and sanitation facilities, residents of Jordan’s Za’atari settlement are worried about what will happen if the virus reaches them, according to the UNHCR.

The situation has inspired a group of Syrian refugees at the camp to get creative to help – by building a robotic hand sanitizer out of Lego.

▻https://assets.weforum.org/editor/responsive_large_webp_I2UdworXI1lGF04PcpNMlk23Job951VwUBZVw4ddz0M.we

The idea is simple: help prevent the spread of COVID-19 with a cheap sanitizer dispenser that can easily be replicated. But to reduce transmission of the virus it has to operate without the need to touch a bottle.

Syrian refugees, trained in robotics at the Jubilee Center for Excellence in Education in Jordan, worked on the problem at the Innovation Lab in the giant Za’atari camp.

More refugees in Lebanon test positive for COVID-19 - Al monitor

More than a dozen refugees in eastern Lebanon have tested positive for the coronavirus. The news follows a handful of virus cases last month in the impoverished community.

There were 15 confirmed cases of COVID-19 among Syrian refugees in Majdal Anjar near the Syrian border as of yesterday, a UN spokeswoman told Al-Monitor. The individuals live in the same building. There was only one confirmed COVID-19 case among Syrian refugees before the ones in Majdal Anjar, and this person living in northern Lebanon has since recovered, the spokeswoman said.

UK extends NHS bereavement scheme after emotional plea from Syrian refugee - Middle East Eye

The British government has reversed a decision to exclude low-wage foreign workers from a bereavement scheme after a Syrian refugee working at a London hospital begged Prime Minister Boris Johnson to reconsider.

Hassan Akkad, a 32-year old refugee who won BAFTA and International Emmy awards for documenting his journey from Turkey into Europe, released an emotional video on Wednesday after learning that the families of migrant NHS cleaners, porters and social care workers wouldn’t qualify for indefinite leave to remain in the UK if they were to die fighting Covid-19

In Jerash refugee camp, lockdown means ‘living without eating’ - +972 Mag

The COVID-19 pandemic is compounding the already precarious situation that refugees around the world are in. Palestinian refugees in Jordan’s Jerash camp are especially vulnerable, given the existing public health challenges and severe poverty.

There are more than two million registered Palestinian refugees living in Jordan. Jerash camp is home to an estimated 30,000 Palestinians whose elders fled Gaza in 1967, after Israel occupied the territory. Unlike most Palestinian refugees in the Hashemite Kingdom, they never received Jordanian citizenship, which impacts their access to work prospects, educational opportunities, and healthcare, among other rights enjoyed by Palestinian-Jordanians.

Before the Jordanian government instituted a lockdown to contain the spread of the new coronavirus, the camp, known locally as Gaza Camp, was deemed by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the U.N. body that delivers vital aid to some 5.3 million Palestinian refugees across the Arab world, as the poorest of the 10 official Palestinian refugee camps in the country.

‘The displacement virus is much stronger than the coronavirus’: Reflections from Burj el-Barajneh and Baqa’a Camps in Lebanon and Jordan -refugeehosts.org

What roles do communal solidarity and sociality play in spaces such as the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon and Jordan during the COVID-19 pandemic? This question is examined by Samar Maqusi, who draws on conversations with camp residents Abu Mohammad and Abu Ahmad, to reflect on the ‘socially conscious’ creativity developing and responding to the pandemic. Maqusi argues that UNRWA has failed to understand the needs of the camps and their residents and, in the face of inadequate support from the Lebanese state, she describes how camp residents are ensuring that food and other provisions are distributed through a ‘body of trust’, providing examples of social solidarity. Maqusi goes on to argue that, during a time when deep rooted inequalities are further revealed and remain unaddressed throughout the pandemic, what is needed is a commitment to develop a collective imagination based on solidarity, for a better future.
