Residents of Yarmouk Camp for Palestinian refugees, south of Damascus, have slammed the apathy maintained by Palestinian political factions regarding the dire humanitarian condition in the camp.
In a poll conducted by AGPS, 77.3% of the respondents leveled heavy criticism at the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Only 2.2% acclaimed the PLO’s position.
52.9% said they are suspicious of the Syrian governments’ pledges to reconstruct the camp; Only 18.6% showed signs of optimism.
Last month, AGPS published a new report comprising the findings of an opinion poll about the reconstruction of Yarmouk Camp and the developments which occurred in the area after the Syrian government recaptured it.
264 people participated in the poll between March 15 – 31. The poll is made up of ten questions about the situation in Yarmouk Camp, the destruction wrought upon it, and civilians’ standpoint regarding reconstruction projects.
Palestinian families continue to call on the concerned authorities to allow them a safe return to their homes in Yarmouk Camp, in Damascus, and to press ahead with reconstruction projects.
Most of Palestinian families taking shelter south of Damascus fled Yarmouk as a result of the tough blockade imposed by the government troops and also after ISIS grabbed hold of the camp on April 1, 2015.
Scores of other stranded families fled the camp following the 33-day military operation launched by the government forces on April 19, 2018. The Syrian government regained control over the camp and southern Damascus towns following the military operation. Dozens of civilians were killed and dozens more injured. Over 80% of buildings have gone either totally or partially destroyed.
