Palestinian Refugees sheltered in Rukn AlDeen neighborhood, in Damascus, have been facing dire humanitarian conditions due to the absence of vital services and poor infrastructure.
Entering its 11th year, the Syrian conflict has had a heavy toll on vulnerable Palestinian refugees living in Rukn AlDeen and other areas across the war-torn country.
The water and power blackouts along with damaged sewerage network have made the situation unbearable in the area. During winter, heavy rainfalls result in serious material damage.
Civilians also face difficulties trying to reach workplaces and local markets due to exorbitant transportation costs. A taxi fare per passenger costs no less than 3,000 Syrian pounds.
Palestinians in Rukn AlDeen live in AlSheyah, Sheikh Khaled, and Ibn AlAmid, areas that are mostly populated by Palestinian refugee communities (90% of the total population).
