Palestinian refugees in Syria continue to launch cries for help over their deteriorating humanitarian condition due to the sharp decrease in the exchange rate of the Syrian pound compared to the USD and their lack of access to the local labor market.
The price leap has also overburdened the cash-stripped refugees. A kilogram of powdered milk has hit 325 Syrian pounds while a liter of liquid milk has reached 400. A bread bundle costs 125 SP, olive oil 30,000, and a kilogram of chicken 25,000.
House rents have also seen a striking leap from previous years. In such towns as Qudsaya, Palestinians have to pay over 75,000 SP as the current average for renting an equipped home.
The refugees continue to urge UNRWA and all other concerned parties to increase financial aids, help the displaced families return to their refugee camps, and provide much-needed relief services for Palestine refugees.
