In north Syria, the residents of Neirab camp for Palestinian refugees in Aleppo, renewed their appeal to the concerned parties and Liwaa Al-Quds, to suppress the phenomenon of motorcycles witnessed by the lanes and alleys of the camp, as it has become a real-life threat to the lives of the people.
According to the Action Group's correspondent, there were many horrific incidents because of the lack of compliance with safety and security standards, and the insane speed with which motorcyclists drive in the lanes and alleys of Neirab camp, without taking into consideration the presence of children, women and elderly people in these alleys.
Since the outbreak of the war in Syria in 2011, chaos has prevailed, unemployment has been rampant and poverty has increased among young people who have been forced to accept any job opportunity to secure a living for themselves and their families. Many young people joined the Popular Committees and the pro-regime Liwaa Al-Quds brigade, to guarantee that they will not be held accountable or prosecuted for any reason, because they represent the authority in the camp. For this reason, they initiated an idea of holding motorbikes races inside the camp (on Death Street), located in the Jadid Street area near to the train station. The Street gained this name after the increase of the number of motorcycling casualties in it.
On their part, the residents held Liwaa Al-Quds, which is in control of the camp, accountable for the security chaos and the disregard for the lives of civilians, especially as many of the motorcyclists are members of Liwaa Al-Quds. They also called for a mechanism to monitor and hold those reckless.
A media source indicates that about 12 people were injured in July 2017, most of which were children, as a result of motorbike accidents.
