A United Nations delegation paid on Sunday a visit to Yarmouk Camp for Palestinian refugees, south of Damascus, Syria.
The delegation was accompanied by representatives of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) and representatives of the General Authority for Palestinian Arab Refugees (GAPAR).
UNRWA representatives said the Agency will embark on the construction of a clinic in AlMadares Street and the reconstruction of its schools in the near future.
Residents of Yarmouk Camp continue to call on the concerned authorities to allow them a safe return to their homes and to press ahead with reconstruction projects.
Civilians said infrastructure, including power and water networks, along with other vital facilities should be immediately rehabilitated in order to help bring life back to normal in the ravaged camp.
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.
