Residents of Khan Eshieh refugee camp denounced the accumulation of trash piles on both edges of AlA’waj River, saying the phenomenon poses serious health threats and puts their children’s hygiene at risk.

Palestinian families taking refuge in Khan Eshieh camp, in Rif Dimashq, have been struggling with squalid humanitarian conditions inflicted by the eight-year long warfare.
As in other refugee camps across Syria, the cost of living index in Khan Eshieh is several times higher than the pre-war period. Prices have seen a 1000% leap, overburdening even further the cash-stripped families. Unemployment rates have also seen an unprecedented increase, resulting in growing poverty rates.
