A transportation crisis has been rocking AlSayeda Zeinab 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 destinations.
The 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.
Located some 12 kilometers away from Damascus, the camp has been gripped with an abject socio-economic condition owing to the absence of humanitarian assistance, relief aids, proper infrastructure, and vital facilities.
