The Syrian Red Crescent Society handed over food baskets to a number of Palestinian families sheltered in Daraa Camp, south of Syria.
The organization has resumed its relief mission in the area following reconciliation accords between the Syrian government and opposition groups.
In recent years, residents of Daraa Camp have sounded distress signals over the absence of vital services and life-saving medical kit. Most of the clinics and medical centers in the area have gone out of operation in the warfare.
UNRWA clinics and health centers have also shut their doors in the government-held zone, exacerbating the health conditions of hundreds of displaced Palestinians taking refuge in the area.
All the way through Syria’s eight-year conflict, Daraa Camp has also been grappling with a chronic water blackout. The residents have lashed out at local authorities for dragging their feet over their appeals for rehabilitating infrastructure and sanitation networks.
Founded in 1950-1951, Daraa Camp is home to over 650 displaced Palestinian families. As many as 4,500 families used to take shelter in the camp prior to the outbreak of the conflict in 2011.
