Palestinian activists and residents of AlThawrah neighborhood, in AlHajar AlAswad, south of Damascus, said civilian homes have been severely damaged by the stagnant water sitting in place for weeks.
The residents attributed water stagnation to the damaged sewerage network in the area, saying urgent action should be made to repair the network.
Sometime earlier, Palestinian families displaced from AlHajar AlAswad neighborhood, south of Damascus, called on the concerned authorities to allow them a safe return to their homes and to press ahead with reconstruction projects.
Civilians said their economic situation has dramatically gone down amid a full lockdown imposed on the country to rein in coronavirus propagation.
The residents have also called on local authorities to remove rubble from the streets and repair the sewerage and power networks.
Thousands of Palestinian refugees took shelter in AlHajar AlAswad, which came under heavy shelling since 2013 and a crippling siege after ISIS crept into the area.
Offensives launched by the Syrian and Russian forces resulted in heavy material damage and took away the lives of dozens of civilians.
