Residents of Daraa Camp for Palestinian refugees, south of Syria, said they have been enduring an acute dearth in drinking water since early April 2014.
Civilians said maintenance works have been carried out by the local water company to repair the main line feeding the northern corners of the camp. However, water has not been pumped to central neighborhoods due to a sand barrier blocking the flow of water from the main lines feeding the area.
Over recent months, families taking refuge in the area said drinking water has been contaminated by sewage, causing it to become foul and salty.
The families continue to urge the local authorities and relief institutions, namely UNRWA, to make urgent steps in order to rinse out wastewater, enhance hygiene in the area, and provide the residents with much-needed water supplies.
All the way through Syria’s eight-year conflict, residents of Daraa Camp for Palestinian refugees, south of Syria, have been grappling with dire humanitarian conditions owing to the high rates of unemployment and absence of vital facilities.
