Residents of Daraa Camp for Palestinian refugees, south of Syria, continue to rail against the mounds of trash and debris piled up in civilian neighborhoods and around the main access roads to the camp, resulting in bed smells and the spread of life-threatening diseases and rodents.
Over recent weeks, civilians have embarked on a campaign to clear Daraa streets and quarters from garbage and debris, risking their lives due to the lack of public and personal hygiene kit.
Local activists and civilians lashed out at the Syrian authorities, UNRWA, and PLO for dragging their feet over the exacerbated situation in the area, calling them to urgently step in and work on removing debris and trash without further delay.
The residents further called for reconstructing ruined homes and rehabilitating destroyed infrastructure.
