SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - Chile has agreed to receive 117 Palestine refugees from Iraq who have spent months living in tents along the desert border with Syria, the government reported Thursday.
The refugees — from 29 families who fled violence in Iraq — will begin to arrive on April 6, Deputy Interior Minister Felipe Harboe told a news conference.
He urged Chileans to support the refugees, who will be settled in four municipalities in the center of the country.
