At least 250 Palestinian families across Duma, Zamalka, Hezzeh and Homoreya, are suffering from an extreme lack of food supplies due to the suffocating siege imposed by the Syrian army, on the eastern Ghouta region since early September 2013.
The severe siege cast a heavy shadow on these families, of which most lost their sources of income because of the siege and war. According to our correspondent, these families do not receive any aid and most of them live only on soup. If a family can buy one kilo of rice, it will feed on it for several days.
The residents are complaining of the shortage of relief aid provided by UNRWA. The spread of snipers has prevented them from reaching UNRWA’s headquarters in Damascus, while the latter has stopped sending its assistance to the eastern Ghouta region.
On their part, the people renewed their appeals through the Action Group, to all the international bodies, UNRWA in particular, the Palestinian official bodies and the Palestinian embassy in Damascus, in addition to the PLO and the Arab and European relief organizations, to work towards putting an end to their suffering and sending urgent relief aid to them.
