Residents of Yarmouk Camp for Palestinian refugees, south of Damascus, signed a petition urging the Ministry of Electricity to rehabilitate the power network in the camp.
Lawyer Nour AlDeen Salman said some 500 families who returned to the camp and wish that life be brought to normal are entitled to sign the petition.
The lawyer said Damascus Governorate has received greenlight to rehabilitate the power network after four years.
He called on the Palestinians of Yarmouk who currently live inside or outside the camp to show up in AlJa’ouna Street to sign the petition.
Entering its 11th year, the Syrian warfare has had disastrous fallouts on Yarmouk Camp and other displacement camps set up across the ravaged country. In 2014, the Syrian regime cut off water in the camp, leaving hundreds of families at the risk of death.
Before the crisis started in 2011, Yarmouk was a bustling home to almost 30 percent of the Palestine refugee population in Syria. Today, the weight of displacement, hardship and the loss of loved ones add to the difficult living conditions in Yarmouk.
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed increased hardship on the entire community, affecting Palestine refugees’ income and livelihood opportunities.
