Palestinian refugees taking shelter in such southern Damascus towns as Yalda, Babila, and Beit Sahem have been grappling with dire conditions as a result of the price hike, steep rental fees, and high rates of unemployment.
Palestinians are forced to rent homes at prices of up to 40,000 Syrian pounds, a sum that outlives the refugees’ budget.
Local municipalities stipulated that displaced families sign a lease agreement with the house owner, forcing dozens of families to share tiny rooms.
The Syrian government forces stipulated that in order for Palestinian refugees sheltered in Yarmouk Camp and the towns of Yalda, Babila, and Beit Sahem to gain access to Damascus a formal consent should be issued to that very end.
Nearly 5,000 Palestinian refugees have been taking shelter in southern Damascus towns after they were displaced from the embattled Yarmouk Camp.
The Syrian government forces regained control over Yarmouk Camp and southern Damascus towns following a 33-day military operation launched on April 19, 2018. Dozens of civilians were killed and dozens more injured in the offensive. Over 80% of buildings have gone either totally or partially destroyed in the warfare.
