Several mortar shells hit the Damascene Taiba neighborhood, adjacent to Khan Dannoun refugee camp, a home for hundreds of Palestinian asylum-seekers, generating a state of unparalleled anxiety among the refugees.
In another event, Palestinian refugee Rakan Hussein continued his hunger strike for 6 uninterrupted days in Budapest as a means to voice his disapproval over having been denied, by the Hungarian authorities, the right to reunite with his children under pretext of not recognizing their travel documents.
The Palestinian ambassador in Hungary Marie Antoinette vowed, following a meeting with Hussein Monday, to work out the affair as soon as possible.

I lost my wife and my mother during the fall of barrel bombs on Muzeireeb town in Daraa," Hussein explained his suffering to the action group for the Palestinians in Syria.
"After an arduous journey, I arrived in Hungary to apply for asylum and managed to obtain permanent residence there, but when I started to process reunion papers, I faced many problems, the first one was the refusal of Lebanon and Jordan to let my children enter their territories for an interview at the Hungarian embassy," the father elaborated further.

"This made my children risk their lives in order to get to Turkey through an irregular road trip because Turkey also prevents the entry of any Palestinian refugee coming from Syria."
"Upon the arrival of my children in Turkey to have an interview at the Hungarian embassy, the officials there asked them to enter Turkey in an orderly way and rejected their Syrian travel documents. The Hungarian authorities demanded other passports for the children, and this is very difficult because the passports issued by the Palestinian Authority take several months."
"Even when I went to the Palestinian embassy in Hungary, I was treated in a very bad and arrogant way, and no one gave me any solutions," Hussein said, adding that he decided to go on hunger strike in a camp near Budapest to pressure the Hungarian authorities to reunite him with his children.
"Is it not enough that they have lost their mother and grandmother in order for them to be deprived of their father as well?" he deprecatingly questioned.
