Residents of Daraa camp for Palestinian refugees, south of Syria, accused UNRWA staff of mismanagement and nepotism.
In a letter emailed to AGPS, the residents said signs of unfair recruitment procedures have emerged at UNRWA’s Daraa office as members of same families received jobs while others’ demands were turned down.
They added that all recruited workers are residents of Daraa city and none of them is from Daraa refugee camp.
The residents denounced corruption and nepotism in Daraa, saying UNRWA should have appointed all cash-stripped civilians for six months in order to reduce unemployment rates in the area.
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 has made life unbearable in the area.
