Residents of Khan Danun camp in the suburb of Damascus are complaining of the transportation crisis that has become a disturbing concern to them since the beginning of the war in 2011, while searching for solutions to solve it. From their point of view, the crisis is no longer in securing transportation to and from the camp which is located 23 kilometers south of the Syrian capital Damascus, where leaving and returning to Khan Danun camp is one of the problems that cannot be neglected in the lives of its residents.
The problem however is in other matters such as bus drivers who raise fares based on their moods and impose the bus route depending on their desires. Most of the buses end their routes at the town of Al-Kaswa, forcing the people to take two or more means of transportation to reach their workplaces and as a result, they pay at least a quarter of their salaries and waste a lot of time.
Residents of Khan Danun camp have appealed several times to all of the concerned parties and the Palestinian factions and government, to find a rapid solution to this issue that is negatively affecting their living and economic conditions. It is also preventing students from reaching their schools and employees from getting to work. The residents believe that a scenario has been placed to keep the crisis intact, saying that the deliberate silence from the concerned parties makes it evident that they are no longer able to end the transportation crisis in Khan Danun camp.
