Residents of AlHusainiya Camp, in Rif Dimashq, continue to denounce exorbitant prices of public transportation following the latest surge in subsidized fuel prices.
The majority of bus drivers refuse to give civilians lifts to and back from distant locations following the swift increase in the prices of subsidized fuel from 180 to 500 Syrian pounds.
The residents urged local authorities to take action in response to price manipulation by bus drivers who increased the ticket price from 125 to 500 pounds.
A number of day labourers and students find no other way than to board private vehicles at a price of up to 2,500 pounds.
Over recent years, residents of AlHusainiya camp have denounced the absence of vital services in the area. The transportation crisis, price leap, absence of relief assistance and healthcare, power and water crises, and high rates of unemployment have made survival quite difficult for dozens of displaced Palestinian families.
Located some 15 kilometers away from Damascus, AlHusainiya Camp, like other areas in Syria, is overwhelmed by displacement, unemployment, inflation, and lack of protection among other major concerns shared by Palestine refugees and Syrians alike during the ongoing conflict in Syria.
