Abstract

ABSTRACT The Covid-19 crisis exposed deeply-rooted systemic problems for Syrians in Türkiye, especially continuous instability in accessing public health and social support services. By reviewing legal amendments and policies, this article examines the legal situation and the humanitarian challenges they encounter during the pandemic in Türkiye. Although the Turkish government provides free access and includes Covid-19 treatment within the emergency scope, the barriers impoverished the Syrian refugees accessing those services. This article does not address all aspects of the impact of Covid-19, thus emphasising how Turkish legal policies on refugee maintenance have constrained the life of Syrians in Türkiye. The study implies the multiple barriers, such as registration requirements and structural problems of the asylum policies restricting the Syrian refugee’s access to healthcare and State services in all aspects. The article concludes by demonstrating that the precarious legal status brings even more vulnerability at times of crisis for the Syrian refugees in Türkiye.
