The residents of Yarmouk camp for Palestinian refugees in Damascus, are suffering from the lack of fuel and heating materials inside the camp. The resources are scarce because of the tight siege imposed on the camp, by the Syrian regime forces and a number of the Palestinian factions affiliated to it.
The low temperatures have also aggravated the suffering of the refugees. According to our correspondent in the camp, the price of one liter of mazut is 500 Syrian pounds, if available, while the price of one kilogram of firewood used for heating, has reached 150 Syrian pounds.
On their part, the residents called for the barriers and roads to be opened, to allow the entry of fuel, such as mazut and gas, for heating and cooking, in order to ease their suffering, especially with the widespread of unemployment, lack of financial sources and the majority’s dependence on the aid provided by the relief organizations.
