The General Authority for Palestinian Arab Refugees (GAPAR) has called on the Syrian Ministry of Internal Trade and Consumer Protection to allot an additional quantity of 1.5 tons of flour to AlJalil Bakery in Khan Eshieh Camp, in Rif Dimashq.
GAPAR said the flour quantities allotted for the bakery are insufficient. Hundreds of families continue to line up for bread every day.
In 2020, AlJalil Bakery used to receive nearly 1,700 kg of flour, producing 1,350 bread backs. Following calls launched by the residents to increase the quantity, an additional 1,300 kg was added.
Over recent years, residents of Khan Eshieh camp have spoken up against the poor-quality bread sold in the area, saying it is unfit for human consumption and holding the government’s quality control staff responsible for the crisis.
Living conditions in Khan Eshieh have sharply deteriorated due to the lack of financial resources and high unemployment rates wrought by the raging warfare. A transportation crisis has added bad to worse.
After more than eleven years of conflict, Palestine refugees continue to be one of the most vulnerable groups in Syria with immense humanitarian needs.
Survival for the majority of Palestinian families in war-stricken Syria has largely hinged on relief assistance. The vast majority of families have been living below the poverty line.
