Shoruq Organization

Shoruq Organization is an independent, Non-Governmental Organization formed in 2012 in Dheisheh Refugee Camp in the OPT. Registered in the Palestinian Ministry of Interior under the number (BL-3343-I). Shoruq is an initiative by Palestinian refugees who are struggling to end the injustice of their continued forced displacement. Shoruq is based on the Palestinian refugees’ inalienable rights, reaffirmed in United Nations Resolution 194 passed on 11th December 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) of 1948, and the Conventions on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in1989. Shoruq or ‘Sunrise’ as the name means in Arabic, indicates a new beginning, a fresh start. It is the time in the morning when the sun appears, taking the earth out of darkness into the light, knowledge, and righteousness.
