Fuel supplies have been distributed in Daraa Camp for Palestine refugees, south of Syria. Lists of concerned families were prepared sometime earlier using smart cards.
Every registered family reportedly received 100 liters of fuel. The price of fuel set by the Syrian government is 18,000 Syrian Pounds per liter.
However, dozens of cash-strapped families could not purchase fuel. The bulk of civilians have been deprived of fuel reserves needed for cooking and heating, with the advent of a freezing winter.
Daraa Camp for Palestinian refugees has been grappling with abject conditions as a result of the fallouts wrought by the military operation launched by the Syrian government forces in mid-June 2018 using internationally-prohibited weapons in an attempt to recapture the area. 80% of civilian homes and property were destroyed.
An acute shortage in medicines and much-needed items along with the government’s tough blockade on the camp have made life unbearable in the area.
Soon after the Syrian government recaptured the camp, civilians appealed to the Palestinian Authority, Palestine Liberation Organization, and UNRWA to urgently step in and work on securing life-saving medicines and foodstuff urgently needed in the area.
The residents further appealed for debris-clearance, reconstruction of ruined homes and facilities, and removal of trash piles.
