Member of the Syrian People’s Assembly, Mohamed Zuheir Tinawi, said a family in Syria needs 5.1 million Syrian pounds per month.
Tinawi pointed out that the wages of state labourers have become “detached from reality,” and barely afford basic needs for two days in light of the dramatic price leap and the decline of purchasing power.
The protracted displacement, deteriorating socio-economic conditions aggravated by the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, dire humanitarian needs and protection concerns continue to affect the lives of Palestine refugees in Syria.
UN data indicates that the protracted conflict has devastated human security and left 91 per cent of the 438,000 Palestine refugees estimated to remain in the country in absolute poverty and 40 per cent displaced.
Due to the serious protection gaps, children have been forced to drop out of school and join armed groups to help feed their starving families.
Hundreds of families have had women as their sole breadwinners; and in several other cases boys and girls are spotted begging in the street for a few pounds.
