More than 150 civilian families that were displaced from the Yarmouk Basin in the western suburb of Deraa, south of Syria, are facing a homelessness threat once again, due to Tafas town’s local council’s insistence on getting them out of their shelters in the town’s educational schools. Those living in rented shouses are unable to pay their rents once again.
For its part, the local council in Tafas, justified its position that hundreds of students from different age groups will be deprived of this year's educational attainment, because the displaced families are living in a majority of the town’s schools, which are about 24 schools for different age groups and student specialties.
At the same time, the displaced families are finding it difficult to find other shelters or homes to live in other than the school, according to one of the displaced people in “Jileen” area. The prices of housing rents are very high, making it difficult to get a house, as well as the lack of financial resources and a breadwinner for the majority of displaced families.
The displaced families have called for humanitarian and relief organizations to act to ease their displacement and secure them against homelessness by finding them suitable accommodation in order to open up space for hundreds of students to complete their education in their schools.
Militants of the ISIS-affiliated “Khaled Ibn Al-Walid” battalion had taken control of the towns of “Tassel”, “Adwan”, “Jileen”, “Sahem Golan” and besieging the town of “Heit” almost completely, causing the displacement of thousands of civilians to neighboring areas.
