Palestinian refugees taking shelter south of Damascus have been grappling with abject living conditions due to the unabated hostilities and the tough blockade enforced on the area by the regime army and its war abettors.
The situation has gone downhill as Palestinian families have become unable to secure much-needed food, clothes, and medicines due to the steep prices, which have seen an increase of up to 1,000% over the past six years.
Survival for hundreds of impoverished Palestinian families in the area has largely hinged on charity meals, financial assistance, and in-kind aids occasionally distributed by UNRWA, among a handful of other relief institutions.
Most of the refugees, who have been shorn of their financial resources and gone unemployed in the raging warfare, have sought shelter in Yalda, Babila, and Beit Sahem, fleeing such beleaguered refugee camps as Yarmouk, AlSbeina, AlHusseiniya, and AlSayeda Zeinab.
