40 Palestinian families displaced from Syria and living in one of the shelter centers in the Bahaa Kindergarten and School (in the Taamer area), affiliated to the Hariri Foundation in Sidon, are complaining of the poor conditions at all the living, economic and social levels, resulting from the widespread of unemployment amongst them and the lack of financial sources, in addition to the negligence of the relief institutions and charities and not providing them with assistance.
On his part, one of the refugees living in the center, considered that their presence in the Bahaa Kindergarten Center eased their economic hardships significantly, noting that if the shelter was not available, he and his family including his wife and six children, would have slept in the outdoors. He added that his case is similar to that of all the 40 families living in the shelter.
“Abu Tahseen,” a nickname, stressed that all the families living in the shelter center are in a state of extreme poverty and severe destitution and that if it wasn’t for that, the would not have stayed in the shelter for one day, especially amid the deterioration and chaotic security condition witnessed by the Ein el-Hilweh camp. He expressed that they are powerless and are awaiting the conditions in Syria to calm, to be able to return to their homes.
On her part, an old, 88 year old woman thanked Allah that she has a room to accommodate her in the Bahaa Center. She is a lonely person and has no support except from Allah. She added that she has found herself a shelter at an old age and people to take care of her in her struggle, which is the grace of Allah.
On another note, the families living in the Bahaa Center, held the Palestinian factions, authorities and embassy, as well as UNRWA, accountable for their suffering and crisis, demanding them to take responsibility towards them and secure them housing and shelter suitable for human habitation.
The situation of the families located in the Kindergarten Center in Tameer Ein el-Hilweh, which is operated by the Zakat and Charity Committee and its suffering, is no different from the situation of the Palestinian-Syrians in the Ein el-Hilweh camp especially, which is estimated at about 1523 families, or the residents along the geographical area of Lebanon. However, the suffering of these families is compounded by the fact that most of them are children, women and elderly people, who have no hope except for Allah.
