Palestinian refugee children in Syria continue to walk past the debris of war everyday to reach their schools in nearby suburbs, enduring a scary journey that never ceases to remind them of the weight of displacement, hardship and the loss of loved ones.
Thousands of Palestine refugee children in Syria bear the scars of the Syrian war. Although cautious calm has replaced active war in Yarmouk, children still feel unsafe in the “ghost town”.
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.
As a result of hostilities, in 2013, UNRWA moved the al-Faloujeh school from Yarmouk to the neighboring suburb of Yalda. Throughout the devastating years of the conflict, students remaining in Yarmouk would take the perilous journey to their school in Yalda in order to continue their education.
