Palestinian refugees sheltered in Khan Eshieh camp, in Rif Dimashq, have been denied access to bread for the 7th day running after the sole bakery in the camp has gone inoperative due to fuel dearth.
Civilians, who used to line up for hours outside of the camp’s sole bakery to receive bread loafs, said fuel supplies allotted to the bakery have been sold on the black market.
Over recent years, residents of Khan Eshieh camp have spoken up against bread mismanagement and the poor quality of bread sold in the area, saying it is unfit for human consumption and holding the government’s quality control staff responsible for the crisis.
Living conditions in Khan Eshieh have sharply deteriorated due to the lack of financial resources and high unemployment rates wrought by the raging warfare. A transportation crisis has added bad to worse.
After more than twelve years of conflict, Palestine refugees continue to be one of the most vulnerable groups in Syria with immense humanitarian needs. The vast majority of families have been living below the poverty line.
