52.\t<\/span> Mr. SARRA<\/u> (Observer for the Syrian Arab Republic) said that the refugee problem was a humanitarian issue with political and geographical dimensions which required solutions based on cooperation and on UNHCR efforts.  He thanked UNHCR for establishing the Al-Hol camp, where thousands of Iraqi refugees were still living, and for the material assistance and aid in voluntary repatriation that UNHCR had provided for refugees living in towns.  He welcomed the cooperation between UNHCR and the Federation of Arab Red Cross and Red Crescent societies.  The presence of a large number of Palestinian refugees under UNWRA responsibility was a heavy burden for Syria.  He reaffirmed Syria’s full support for UNHCR as it carried out its noble mission.<\/p><\/div>\n
