The refugee camps in the Zayzoun gathering have turned into swamps, due to the heavy rain with the approach of winter. The photographs and videos published by activists and refugees from the gathering, show shocking scenes of the tragic conditions that the refugees are living in, where their camps are worn and damaged, despite being their only shelter after their displacement.
Our reporter quoted a resident of the camp, “Mahmoud Abu Qassem,” that the heavy rains which fell on the camp in the recent past, led the majority of the camp’s population to be displaced, as a result of the destruction and drifting of the tents.
He added that most of the camp’s land are muddy and not suitable for the residents, however he was forced to stay there amid the absence of an alternative residence. Our correspondent described the state of the refugees in the camp as a humanitarian tragedy, where the basic needs for life are absent amid the total obscurity of support from the relief and humanitarian organizations.
Our correspondent noted that there are no preparations to help the displaced to cope with the winter, adding that the refugees are prevented from humanitarian help, with the poor relief work serving the region.
Approximately 115 Palestinian-Syrian families are living in the Zayzoun gathering, which lacks the least necessities for a dignitious life. The families were displaced from their houses because of the continuous bombardments on their houses by the Syrian regime, in addition to ISIS’s control over some neighborhoods in the city, as in the Jileen gathering.
According to our reporter in Deraa, most of the families that were displaced to the Zayzoun gathering are Palestinian families which were displaced from the neighborhoods of Deraa city and its camp, and the Jileen gathering.
The residents called out to UNRWA and all the Palestinian and International bodies concerned with the Palestinian refugee in Syria, to urgently exert their efforts towards the suffering of the families in the gathering, stressing on the necessity of UNRWA to perform its duties towards them, as an international organization responsible for Palestinian refugees.
