The Palestinian-Syrians displaced from Al-Yarmouk camp to Qusayya town live in a real tragedy because of the imposed siege over the town by the regime's army after kidnaping one of its soldiers by the armed opposition forces in 23 July 2015.
The blockade state reflected negatively on life inside the town, where markets witnessed notable rise of prices and lack of specific kinds of goods, and rise of house rents added to the prevention of movement to all Palestinians except the employees, also the prevention of letting any goods into the town unless paid a fine to checkpoint members.
The spread of unemployment and the loss of financial sources "turned life inside Qudsayya into hell" according to a Palestinian resident, while Im-Elabed, another Palestinian resident says: "We escaped from Al-Yarmouk camp aiming for a better life, but now I think that life inside the camp could be better, here we lack food and money and barely can afford house rent, we cannot tolerate this status any longer, especially that no committees to represent us here and we are completely dependent to the relationship between the regime's army and the opposition forces". It is noteworthy that Qusayya town had received about 6,000 Palestinian families fled their camps.
Turning to Eastern Gota, about 250 Palestinian families live in Douma, Zamalka, Hammouria, and Hazza, called through the AGPS for all international bodies especially the UNRWA and official bodies of Palestinian Authority and PLO and the Palestinian Embassy in Damascus and relief organizations to assist them and put an end to their continuous suffering, as they live inside the blockade of the regime's army since September 2013.
