Residents of Khan Eshieh Camp for Palestinian Refugees, in Rif Dimashq, denounced the absence of representatives of the water and power companies in the camp, forcing civilians to walk for several kilometers to pay their bills in order to avoid abrupt blackout.
Offices of water and electricity authorities went out of operation following the opposition’s takeover of the camp and surrounding areas in 2013. The Syrian regime regained control of the area by the end of 2016.
A transportation crisis has been rocking Khan Eshieh camp for Palestinian refugees, in Rif Dimashq, where workers and students continue to face serious difficulties getting to their workplaces and schools.
The residents said buses do not show up on time and refuse to take the passengers to Damascus on claims of fuel shortage, forcing several of them to board private means of transportation at high prices. Others have found no other way-out than to walk for dozens of kilometers in order to reach their destinations.
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 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.
