ICRThingy issues passports for Paleos on Jordan-Iraq border
2007-10-15
The International Committee of the Red Cross Thingy (ICRC) has recently issued 22 passports for another group of Palestinian refugees at al-Rawishid refugee camp as a prelude to resettling them in Brazil.
Where they'll soon invent find the 2,024,967th holiest site in all Islam.
Spokeswoman for the ICRC Amman Mission Rabi Afana told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Saturday that the mission had so far issued 22 temporary passports in groups, the last of which were 16 documents for Palestinians resettled in Brazil.

Asked by KUNA about the fate of other 2,300 Palestinian refugees stuck on the Jordanian-Iraqi border and Jordanian-Syrian border, she said the Amman Mission was responsibly for those Palestinians coming to Jordan only, while those held on the Syrian-Iraqi border fell within the responsibility of the ICRC Syria Mission.

In 2003-2005, some 900 Palestinians were stuck at the buffer zone on the Jordanian-Iraqi border, escaping the conflict in Iraq. The al-Rawishid Palestinian refugee camp in south Jordan near the Iraqi border received over 220 out of 900 Palestinians held at the buffer zone, with 70 having been resettled in Canada; 30 in New Zealand and 105 in Brazil.

However, the ICRC urged the international community to exert more efforts to find permanent solutions to those Palestinian refugees, including children, given their difficult humanitarian circumstances.
