Syria's fighting has uprooted more than half of the country's 530,000 Palestinians – descendants of refugees from a Mideast conflict half a century ago – and their situation is becoming increasingly desperate, the head of a U.N. aid agency said Thursday.
The Palestinians in Syria are particularly vulnerable because of their refugee status, Filippo Grandi, head of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, told The Associated Press in an interview.
He said most of the 12 Palestinian camps have been affected by the fighting.
