The Syrian Regular Army and some affiliated Palestinian groups are still preventing the residents of Sbeina camp of returning to their homes for 471 days after they were forced to leave their houses following the violent clashes that broke out between the regular army and the opposition groups that ended with the Regular Army full control of the camp.
Eyewitnesses’ estimation indicates that more than 80% of its buildings were completely demolished, particularly the area between Moath Ibn Jabal mosque and the bakery of the camp “Kurds bakery” which is considered the western entrance of the camp.
The residents were displaced to the neighboring towns and camps to be involve in a new suffering that exceeded leaving their homes but also included all their lives that turned out to a tragedy due to the economic conditions, the unemployment spread, and the lack of financial resources.
Many of the residents immigrated outside of Syria following the war and the difficult economic situation, as the UNRWA estimations indicate that the rate of the refugees of Sbeina camp, who were displaced to Lebanon, has reached 8.21% of the total refugees’ number that is estimated with almost 50.000 refugees.
