Damascus Governor Mohamed Tareq Kreishani said efforts have been underway to rehabilitate the ravaged Yarmouk Camp for Palestinian refugees.
He said contacts will be held with the Social Affairs Minister Mohamed Seid AlDeen to that end.
The governor pledged that means of transportation will be available starting Saturday.
Kreishani called for joint efforts between the different government bodies and CSOs to rehabilitate the camp.
Civilians’ ownership documents will also be collected and added to the camp’s official records.
The unabated warfare has had disastrous fallouts on Palestinian refugee camps across the Syrian territories. Palestinians who remained in Yarmouk or returned to the camp sometime later have been struggling for survival, in an area where mounds of uncleared rubble continue to block civilians’ access to their homes and property.
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.
