Residents of AlHusainiya Camp for Palestinian refugees, in Rif Dimashq, have denounced the manipulation of fuel supplies by state-authorized suppliers.
The residents have railed against frequent delays in the transfer of the 50 fuel liters allotted to them through the smart card used by the Syrian government to ration a wide range of subsidized goods, namely fuel, rice, tea, and sugar.
Civilians protesting fuel manipulation have been mistreated and terrorized by suppliers. A resident who filed complaints at the Ministry of Oil and Mineral Resources, the Syrian General Corporation for Hydrocarbons, and the Directorate of Consumer Protection was told to reach out to authorities through the ad hoc hotline. However, he has received no reply so far.
As weather temperatures have gone down, Palestinian refugee families in displacement camps across war-torn Syria continue to struggle with multiple hardships.
Speaking with AGPS, a number of Palestinian refugees said they have no heating equipment except for blankets and mattresses.
The families have expressed fear that they won’t be able to cook their food or keep the cold out of their homes this year due to fuel dearth, as a freezing winter season is about to unlock its gates.
The refugees have launched into a tirade against the malpractices of Syria’s burgeoning black oil market, fuel shortages, and—most of all—the exorbitant prices of wood and fuel charged by corrupt officials and traders.
