Dara'a camp was subjected to heavy shelling by the regime's artillery and tank's bombs yesterday. The shelling caused a state of panic among the civilians and huge damages in the houses.
On the other hand, the suffering of locals of Dara'a camp is exacerbating due to the clashes and frequent bombings in the camp since the outbreak of the conflict, which resulted in destroying about 70% of the camp and 229 Palestinian victims. The rest of locals are still live under threat of the dangerous conditions in the health and living aspects; whereas, the running water is still cut off for 700 days. Securing drink water is one of the most risks on the refugees' lives as they force to fill their water needs from the point distances about 10 km. The camp usually is supplied by only one water tanker, which is insufficient to meet the residents' needs. The regime's snipers and the ongoing clashes are the main obstacles of the water supplying. The only and insufficient water tank in the camp pushed some locals to get water by pots or using water hoses due to the nature of the adjacent building where the tanker could not reach some neighbourhoods.
In this respect, Palestinian refugees in Dara'a camp renewed their demands to the international organisation to intervene in order to find a solution for their tragedy particularly, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) as the securing clean water is one of its priorities. They warned from a humanitarian disaster in the camp if nobody has responded.
