Palestinian Refugees in Sehnya Town Facing Dire Conditions

Some 1,500 Palestinian refugee families who fled southern Damascus to Sehnaya and AlAshrafiya, in Rif Dimashq, continue to struggle with abject living conditions.

The first Palestinian exodus to the area saw the day in July 2012. In December, a larger wave occurred, with nearly 140,000 people fleeing Yarmouk Camp.

In late 2013, nearly 10,000 residents of AlSabina Camp for Palestinian refugees had sought shelter in Sehnaya.

Over recent years, the number of families sheltered in the area has decreased as scores of them fled to Europe and neighboring countries while others move to displacement camps across the war-ravaged country.

In 2013, UNRWA opened an aid distribution centre to provide food items and humanitarian assistance to the refugees. In 2017, UNRWA opened a mobile health clinic which it turned into a fixed facility in 2019.

Palestinian refugees displaced from Yarmouk Camp to the area continue to struggle with exorbitant rental fees as an apartment in Sehnaya and AlAshrafiya is rented at nearly 200 Syrian pounds.
