Residents of Daraa Camp for Palestinian refugees south of Syria have called on the concerned authorities to work on securing power and water supplies in the area.
Civilians said they have been forced to drink water spouting from contaminated artesian wells or purchasing tanks at prices of up to 900 Syrian Pounds.
The residents urged the Palestine Liberation Organization, UNRWA, and the General Authority for Palestine Refugees to make serious steps in order to reconstruct infrastructure, rehabilitate water, power, and sanitation networks, and restore UNRWA’s health, educational, and relief facilities.
All the way through the eight-year conflict, the Syrian government forces tightened grip on Daraa residents, blocking their access to aid items and cutting drinking water for months. Civilian buildings and facilities also sustained heavy damage in the rampant shelling on the camp.
