AlRefai: Removal of debris in Yarmouk is to allow residents access to their homes

Member of Fatah’s Central Committee in Damascus Samir AlRefai denied reports that debris clearance in Yarmouk Camp has been ongoing in order to open access roads to AlShuhada Cemetery.

Speaking with Palestine TV Channel, AlRefai said removal of debris in Yarmouk makes part of underway attempts to allow the residents a safe access to their homes in the camp.

He added that 40% of civilian homes are fit for habitation; 40% require partial reconstruction, while 20% of buildings have been turned into mounds of rubble.

The official said a roadmap is slated to be put into effect in the next few days to repair water and sanitation networks, adding that UNRWA will step in to reconstruct local schools and facilities.

AlRefai quoted Syria’s Prime Minister Emad Khamis as stating that the government will take charge of the reconstruction of infrastructure. However, house owners are responsible for reconstructing their own homes.

In statements to AlWatan daily on October 11, 2018, head of the PLO’s political department Anwar Abdul Hadi said the Syrian authorities green-lighted the reconstruction of AlShuhada Cemetery under the supervision of the Palestinian Authority and PLO.

Abdul Hadi also said the measure aims at preserving AlShuhada Cemetery, home to the bodies of the victims of the Palestinian Revolution since 1965.
