A transportation crisis has been rocking ASabina Camp for Palestinian refugees since the outburst of the Syrian warfare. Civilians’ access out of and into the area has almost been blocked. Workers and students have had difficulties getting to their workplaces and universities.
AlSabina residents spoke out against the steep and unfixed transportation fees, often devouring up to a quarter of their salaries. Civilians are often forced to catch another means of transportation as bus drivers change the lines, stops, and fees quite unpredictably. Others have found no other way-out than to walk for dozens of kilometers in order to reach their destinations.
The residents added that their appeals to the concerned institutions have almost gone unheeded.
Located some 14 kilometers away from southern Damascus, AlSabina Camp has been gripped with an abject socio-economic condition owing to the absence of humanitarian assistance, relief aids, proper infrastructure, and vital facilities.
Violent onslaughts launched on AlSabina Camp in 2013 led to the destruction of 80% of civilian buildings and facilities. The government forces seized the camp on November 17, 2013.
