Palestinian refugee Fathiya Abdul Halim Karima filed a complaint to the Syrian authorities denouncing the poor infrastructure in Umm AlFahm Street, in Yarmouk Camp.
The complaint, which was passed on from the Ministry of Local Governance to Damascus Governor, called for rehabilitating power and water networks in the area.
A few days ago, Director-General of the General Water Company in Syria, Samer AlHashemi, paid a visit to Yarmouk Camp for Palestinian refugees, south of Damascus. He was accompanied by Palestinian engineer Rola Maw’ed, head of the services department in Yarmouk Camp.
Local sources told AGPS that the visit aims to take note of the condition of the water network in an attempt to enhance installations and provide the residents with potable water.
Entering its 10th year, the Syrian warfare has had disastrous fallouts on Yarmouk Camp and other displacement camps set up across the ravaged country. In 2014, the Syrian regime cut off water in the camp, leaving hundreds of families at the risk of death.
Before the crisis started in 2011, Yarmouk was a bustling home to almost 30 percent of the Palestine refugee population in Syria. Today, the weight of displacement, hardship and the loss of loved ones add to the difficult living conditions in Yarmouk.
