A delegation of the International Red Cross accompanied by the water chief in Syria showed up in Handarat camp for Palestinian refugees to inspect ongoing maintenance works to repair the main water pipes.
Recently, 10 water tanks have been installed across Handarat neighborhoods.
Palestinian refugees have been grappling with dire conditions in Handarat due to the lack of humanitarian assistance and life-saving services. The majority of families have been taking shelter in buildings rented at extremely steep costs in the poverty-stricken area. A severe water and power crisis also continues to rock the camp.
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 zones in Aleppo and the displacement of its residents on April 27, 2013.
