In the suburbs of Damascus, the residents of the Khan Danon camp are living in stable security conditions, however its residents are suffering from the serious worsening of their living conditions, as a result of the implications of the war in Syria. Since the war began, they have been complaining of being able to secure their means of transportation to and from the camp, where the movement to and from the Khan Danon camp are one of the problems that cannot be taken easily by its residents. Any employee or student must wait for several hours to be able to reach their workplace, in addition to the other frustrations of the expenses of up to a quarter of their salary or more, and the temperamental mood of the drivers.
The students and employees are suffering from the lack of microbuses which transport them to their workplaces, schools or universities, in addition to the exploitation of the bus drivers who raise the transportation fares and force a certain route that suits them. Most of the buses only reach the area of Al-Kiswah, at which the people are forced to take at least one other mean of transportation to reach their workplaces, which constitutes a financial burden and wastes a lot of time.
On their part, the residents of the camp confirmed that they issued a number of complaints to the concerned authorities, the Palestinian factions and its government, however their complaints went with the wind. They added that many faction officials and political forces come to attend festivals and deliver speeches about the steadfastness of the people, stressing that it was better for the officials to come and see the daily suffering of the people and find quick solutions to them.
