Palestinian refugees in India protest at UN

Palestinian refugees in India staged a sit in outside the UNHCR office in New Delhi today. Istasar Mustafa, one of the protesting refugees, said she had fled from Iraq a year back due to attacks on her community by the militia. "We are Palestinian refugees from Iraq. We were facing a lot of persecution from different militias in Iraq. We fled from there and arrived in India. We are facing problems here. We are here to ask for a solution to our problems." Around 160 Palestinians from Iraq are seeking refugee status in India and are struggling financially as they are no allowed to work.
