Director of UNRWA projects in Syria, Michael Amania, and Aleppo’s Governor, Husain Diab, discussed during a recent meeting the situation of Palestinian refugees in Aleppo and the need to reconstruct refugee camps and rehabilitate vital facilities.
Amania said UNRWA will dispatch engineers to assess the situation of buildings in Handarat, pointing out the financial hurdles encountered by the UN agency as a result of the funding crunch.
Palestinian refugees in Handarat Camp, in Aleppo, have been grappling with dire conditions due to the lack of humanitarian assistance and life-saving services.
The displaced Palestinian families continue to call on UNRWA to take urgent steps in order to reconstruct the destroyed homes and facilities.
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.
