The residents of Sabinah camp for Palestinian refugees in the suburbs of Damascus are suffering from the water cuts for several months, which is forcing them to buy water from the tanks at very high prices, aggravating their living and economic suffering.
The residents of Rawda Al-Horreya Street are suffering from the lack of water reaching their houses for long periods of time, noting that the water is pumped regularly without any interruption to the rest of the areas belonging to the municipality of Quneitra.
On their part, the residents of Al-Souq lane in the camp stated that the water has been cut from their lane for four months, because of a fault in the pipes that feed their homes, pointing out that they filed a complaint to the municipality to repair the malfunction. The municipality promised to repair it within two days, but it has been four months without repairation.
While the residents of Sabinah camp, which is located 14 km away from the south of Damascus, complain about the lack of relief assistance provided to them by the relief associations and institutions and UNRWA, accusing UNRWA of failing to provide them with the same aid that other camps receive. They are also suffering from the absence of basic services and infrastructure services.
In 2013, Sabinah camp witnessed violent clashes and was subjected to heavy bombardments by the Syrian regime forces, which led to the total and partial damage of 80% of its buildings, before the regime took control of it on 17-11-2013. On the 30th of August 2017, some of its residents were allowed to return to it.
