Palestinian refugees from Iraq heading to Brazil
Brazil has shown more generosity and humanity than the entire Arab League (tfu on them).
"AMMAN , 4 July 2007 (IRIN) - After spending over four years languishing in a refugee camp in the Jordanian desert, 100 Palestinian refugees from Iraq will finally be heading to their new home - Brazil.
A statement by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), said the group, which includes children and the elderly, will start moving from Rweished refugee camp, 60km from the Jordanian-Iraqi border, to Brazil by September.
"The UNHCR is grateful to… the government of Brazil for resettling an estimated 100 Palestinian refugees who formerly lived in Iraq," said the statement made available to IRIN.....
All will receive rented accommodation, furniture and material assistance for up to 24 months. Employment profiles are being analysed to ensure job opportunities for all, while a network of volunteers and local communities is being established to provide moral support during their integration.
Children will attend classes in Portuguese, before being enrolled in Brazilian schools in March 2008.
The group is currently receiving training by a team of humanitarian professionals from Brazil on Brazilian culture and is being given Portuguese lessons....."
