A transportation crisis has been rocking the Khan Dannun Camp since the outburst of the Syrian warfare.
Reporting from Khan Dannun shelter, located some 23 kilometers away from southern Damascus, AGPS news correspondent said civilians’ access out of and into the area has almost been blocked.
Workers and students have also had difficulties getting to their workplaces and universities.
Khan Dannun residents further spoke out against the steep and unfixed transportation fees, often devouring up to a quarter of their salaries.
Civilians are often forced to catch another means of transportation as bus drivers change the lines, stops, and fees according to their whims. Others have found no other way-out than to walk for thousands of meters in order to reach their workplaces. More often than not, Al-Kiswa town is the only terminus of government buses.
AGPS reporter quoted Khan Dannun residents as stating that their appeals for help have frequently gone unheeded by the Syrian authorities and Palestinian factions, many of whose representatives have showed up in local festivals and acclaimed civilians’ iron will.
“Political leaders would better show up in the shelter so as to keep tabs on our daily suffering and work out the crisis before it is too late,” a resident said.
