Residents of AlHusainiya Camp, in Rif Dimashq, have denounced the poor infrastructure and absence of vital services in the area, saying the three municipalities in charge of AlHusainiya have failed to live up to their responsibilities.
The residents said power has been operative for no more than two hours in the so-called “Rif Dimashq zone” of Al Husainiya area.
The residents also said that they have been enduring frequent water outages along with an acute shortage in much-needed items.
The absence of means of transportation has resulted in movement restrictions that have made their access to areas outside the camp quite difficult.
Civilians said they have been made to pay 1,500 Syrian pounds to bus drivers and 2,000 to owners of transportation trucks.
A number of residents told AGPS that dozens of civilians continue to line up on a quasi-daily basis in long queues and under scorching heat outside of local bakeries to receive bread loafs. Bread packs have been secretly sold on the black market at three times their real price.
A few years earlier, offensives launched on the camp by regime forces using MIG warplanes led to the death of dozens of civilians in AlHusainiya Camp and a massive material destruction. Bloody shootouts between the opposition outfits and the Syrian government forces culminated in the latter’s takeover of the camp on October 9, 2013.
