Representatives of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) paid a visit, on Monday, February 18, to Handarat Camp for Palestinian refugees in Aleppo in an attempt to keep tabs on reconstruction works.
Member of the PFLP political bureau Ali Faysal, also secretary of DFLP-Lebanon region, called on UNRWA to work on rehabilitating Handarat Camp and other Palestinian refugee camps at the soonest time possible and to secure life-saving services for the displaced communities in war-torn Syria.
Over recent months, Palestinian refugees in Handarat Camp, in Aleppo, frequently sounded distress signals as they continue to suffer dire conditions owing to the lack of humanitarian assistance and life-saving services. A severe water and power crisis also continues to rock the area. A massive destruction has been wrought on the infrastructure and civilian structures.
Heavy shelling on Handarat and bloody shootouts between the government forces and the opposition outfits led to the destruction of over 90% of buildings in the camp. The confrontations culminated in the government’s takeover of the camp along with other areas in Aleppo and the displacement of its residents on April 27, 2013.
