Residents of the Jaramana Camp, in Rural Damascus, have run out of fuel reserves urgently needed for heating.
Speaking with AGPS, the residents said they registered their names on the line-up list but received no fuel supplies so far.
“Only a few of us received 50 liters and others received 100 liters. However the bulk of civilians have been deprived of fuel reserves with the advent of winter,” a local resident told AGPS.
He added that fuel is being sold on the black market at up 350 Syrian Liras a liter, adding insult to injury in an area where civilians have been grappling with dire socio-economic conditions, high unemployment rates, steep rental fees, and a sharp nosepe in relief assistance by UNRWA and other charities.
