A specialized ad hoc committee appointed by UNRWA showed up in Yarmouk Camp for Palestinian refugees, south of Damascus, and started earmarking houses and commercial structures.
The committee will assess the condition of buildings and categorize them in habitable and non-habitable.
Civilians expressed hope that the committee’s work is a prelude for cash aid by the Agency in order to assist the residents in reconstruction works, saying a similar initiative was made by UNRWA in 1956 for holders of housing permits and in Palestinian refugees camps in Lebanon.
