Residents of Jaramana Camp for Palestinian refugees, in Rif Dimashq, said power installations have been stolen from the area, exacerbating the humanitarian condition endured by hundreds of Palestinian refugee families.
Over recent years, residents of Jaramana Camp have launched cries for help over the dire socio-economic conditions, high unemployment rates, poor infrastructure, steep rental fees, and chronic water crisis rocking the area.
Jaramana camp is 8km from Damascus on the road to Damascus
International Airport. The camp was established in 1948.
UN data indicates that before the start of the conflict in 2011, there
were over 18,000 Palestine refugees living in Jaramana camp.
During the Syrian crisis, the number of Palestine refugees in the
camp and the surrounding area increased to 49,000 due to an influx
of displaced Palestine refugees from other areas, including the camp of Yarmouk. As a result, Jaramana has become one of the most densely populated areas of Damascus.
Like other areas in Syria, displacement, unemployment, inflation, protection and security risks are among the main concerns shared by Palestine refugees and Syrians alike.
