Head of AGPS Research Department, Ibrahim AlAli, warned of a serious disaster rocking Yarmouk Camp for Palestinian refugees, south of Damascus, after the Syrian government forces regained control over the area in May.
AlAli said families displaced from Yarmouk have not yet returned to their homes, which have been left unreconstructed.
Speaking with Palestine Online newspaper, AlAli said Yarmouk residents cleared debris and trash in the camp in an attempt to return to their homes. However, the water and power crises, along with the poor infrastructure, have forced the residents out of the area once again.
AlAli added that no promises to reconstruct the camp have materialized on the ground and that debris has not yet been cleared.
The appeals of the residents and civil society institutions to reconstruct the camp have almost gone unheeded as no practical steps have been made by the Syrian government to work out the situation.
AGPS staff member further stated that scores of Yarmouk residents have gone displaced across and outside of the embattled Syrian territories.
The displaced residents of Yarmouk have had their hopes dashed by the destruction wrought on their homes and the increasing property-theft assaults carried out in the camp.
AlAli expressed concerns over the fate of dozens of displaced families, saying the damage inflicted on the camp only serves Israeli agendas seeking to wipe out Palestinians’ presence in Syria.
