An increasing number of families have returned to Yarmouk Camp for Palestinian refugees, south of Damascus.
A number of returnees told AGPS that they have been able to reconstruct one room or, in the best of cases, two rooms, of their destroyed houses.
The families said they have been overburdened by exorbitant house rents in nearby zones. In Qudsaya town, a house is rented at 250,000 Syrian pounds, in an area where the majority of Palestinian refugee families lost their livelihoods.
In mid-February, Damascus Governorate said 2,000 families returned to Yarmouk Camp for Palestinian refugees over recent months.
The Governorate said 4,000 entry permits were issued to families wishing to return to the camp and retrieve their property.
