UNRWA has started clearing debris near AlZeib School and the Women’s Centre in Hindarat camp for Palestinian refugees, in Aleppo, north of Syria.
The works make part of a UNRWA plan to reconstruct its premises in Palestinian refugee camps in Syria. To that end, UNRWA struck a contract with Mohamed AlSai’d Construction Company.
Ten years into the Syrian conflict, Palestinian refugees displaced from Handarat Camp have been confronted with increased hardship due to protracted displacement and the loss of livelihoods.
Some eight years ago, precisely on April 27, 2013, Palestinian refugee families fled the camp in mass due to deadly shelling. They sought refuge in university dormitories and government shelters in and around Aleppo. Scores of other families risked their lives onboard Europe-bound “death-boats”.
The situation is made worse by the socio-economic fallouts of the coronavirus pandemic and the price leap.
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 areas in Aleppo and the displacement of its residents on April 27, 2013.
