A rally was held by dozens of families displaced from Yarmouk and southern Damascus zones who have been seeking shelter in Deir Ballout, north of Syria, demanding an urgent action over their abject situation.
The displaced families called on the concerned bodies and human rights institutions, among them UNRWA and the Palestine Liberation Organization, to immediately step in and work on alleviating the crises they have been made to endure.
The rally-goers said their children have sustained intestinal infections and severe diarrhea due to the acute dearth in drinking water. Children have been left with no choice other than dirking contaminated water for the 17th consecutive day.
A protester said altercations burst out between the displaced families and administrative officers in the camp. Policemen fired gunshots in the air to terrorize the residents and force them to backtrack on the protest moves.
Deir Ballout Camp has been set up next to the Turkish-funded Muhamadiya Camp as refugee influx across Syria has increased. The two neighboring camps are home to 1,100 poorly-equipped tents.
