Residents of Jaramana Camp for Palestinian refugees continue to sound alarm bells over the simmering child abductions in the area.
Over recent years, several civilians, including children, have gone missing in Jaramana Camp. Palestinian child Zein Ahmad Taameh disappeared from AlAmeen Street in Jaramana Camp on Monday, April 1, on his way back home from Palestine School, run by UNRWA.
Three-year-old Palestinian child Teym Samer Jamil Surur, a resident of Sakhnin Street in Jaramana Camp, in Rif Dimashq, also disappeared on April 18. His family continues to appeal for information over his condition and whereabouts.
According to AGPS data, over 350 Palestinian refugees have gone missing in war-torn Syria, mostly from Yarmouk Camp, south of Damascus.
The war has resulted in increasing rates of juvenile delinquency, unemployment, and psychological disorders among Palestinian refugee children in Syria.
Reports of drug consumption and trafficking have also increasingly emerged in displacement camps set up for Palestinian refugees in Syria
Daily scenes of destruction and bloodshed in Syria forced dozens of helpless civilians, among them children, to consume drugs and sniff glue, among other life-threatening substances, as a means to get over the trauma inflicted by the unabated warfare. Drug use, which starts as a way to escape, quickly makes their life worse.
Drug distribution is often carried out by children aged below 18 and members of cash-strapped and vulnerable families who are exploited by illicit drug trafficking networks which are subject to drug prohibition laws.
