In a related development, residents of Aleppo-based Al-Neirab Camp, in northern Syria, have set off alarm bells over the unabated price hike and difficulties in purchasing much-needed fruits and vegetables.
Speaking with AGPS, Palestinian refugee Abu Ibrahim said civilians have been made to buy tomatoes, among other fruits, at 150 Syrian Liras per kilo, up from 10 only prior to the warfare.
Abu Ibrahim spoke out against the sharp nosepe in the value of the Syrian currency compared the US dollar. Unemployment, lack of financial resources, and poverty, coupled with power and telecommunication outages, have made survival the most challenging of all struggles in an area that predominantly hinges on charity and UNRWA aids.
AGPS kept record of the death of 151 Palestinian refugees taking cover in Al-Neirab shelter since the outbreak of the Syrian conflict. 92 Palestinians taking refuge in the camp have, meanwhile, been held in Syrian jails, where their fate has been shrouded in mystery.
