Palestinian refugee families in AlNeirab Camp, in Aleppo, have launched distress calls over the exorbitant prices of fuel-powered electricity generators in an area that has been rocked by chronic power blackouts.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The residents said they have been forced to pay as much as 25,000 Syrian pounds per month in order to receive power supplies from fuel-operated generators.<\/span><\/p>\n

They further urged the Syrian authorities to take the necessary measures in response to unlicensed manipulation of power generators.<\/span><\/p>\n

Local activists told AGPS that officers and members of Liwaa AlQuds brigade, affiliated with the Syrian regime, have been receiving up to 130 amps for free in return for turning blind eyes to such violations.<\/span><\/p>\n

AlNeirab camp is the largest official camp in Syria and is 13km east of the city of Aleppo near the Aleppo airport.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before the start of the conflict in Syria, Neirab camp was home to more than 20,000 Palestine refugees. Like other Palestine refugee camps in Syria, a large number of families, young people, have travelled abroad. The camp has also seen a large influx of more than 900 families from the nearby Ein el Tal camp, which has been mostly destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n

With nearly 18,000 registered refugees, Neirab camp is among the most densely populated camps. The camp suffers from overcrowding and a lack of privacy. Like other areas in Syria, displacement, unemployment, inflation, protection and security risks are among the main concerns shared by Palestine refugees and Syrians alike.<\/span><\/p>\n

The location of the camp near the military airport means the area was exposed to hazards including mortars and shelling between the start of 2013 and the end of 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n

Poor shelters and poor construction of the barracks result in scorching temperatures in summer and freezing conditions in winter. Water leakage and rodent infestation also remain a problem for the refugees.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
