Hundreds of displaced Palestinian families seeking refuge in Yalda, Babila, and Beit Sahem, south of Damascus, have launched cries for help over the abject living conditions they have been made to endure in the area due to the price hike, high unemployment rates, steep rental fees and the decline in civilians’ purchasing power.
A Palestinian refugee spoke out against the increase in rental fees following the retreat of the opposition battalions from the area. He said residents used to pay 25,000 SP before the retreat of the opposition outfits, down from an actual average of 50,000 SP for furnished houses. Rental fees for unfurnished homes have hit 30,000 SP.
Quoting a displaced refugee in Yalda, AGPS correspondent said residents have been forced out of their rented homes under various pretexts by the house owners whose sole purpose has been to increase rental fees.
