Action Group – South Damascus
Residents of the Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp in Damascus continue to complain about the deterioration of infrastructure, especially the main and side streets, which have become a source of danger to pedestrians, especially the elderly.
Activists pointed out that the street extending between Palestine Park and Palestine Mosque is clearly neglected, as it is strewn with obstacles and scrap metal remnants, causing frequent accidents for residents. This situation recently led to an elderly man sustaining injuries and fractures after falling while passing by, sparking anger among residents and prompting them to demand urgent measures to improve services.
Camp residents hold the Yarmouk Services Office and the relevant authorities in Damascus Governorate responsible for this continued neglect, stressing the need to maintain the streets and remove obstacles to avoid further accidents. They assert that their suffering is not limited to an individual incident but rather affects the lives of the entire community.
