UN: Palestinians stuck near Iraq to move to Slovakia

None

Nearly one hundred Palestinians who spent the last six years stranded between Iraq and Syria will be moved temporarily to Slovakia, pending resettlement elsewhere, the United Nations refugee agency said on Tuesday.

 

The 98 refugees, who were living in "appalling conditions" in makeshift camps near the desert border, will be housed in northeastern Slovakia from August, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said. (Reuters)
