In Damascus Suburb, the residents of Khan Danoun residents suffer of severe living crises manifested in the shortage of food materials , the spread of unemployment , poverty and the continues water ,power, telecommunications cut for long periods.
In addition, the clear absence of the relief activities in the camp increased the suffering of the residents in light of the difficult economic conditions because there are no charities or local committees in the camp due to the security tightening by the Syrian Regime forces and the arrest campaigns that affected the relief activists which prompted these committees to close their doors in order to maintain the lives of the activists. Khan Danoun is considered amongst the poorest camps in Syria where the camps depend on the financial and relief aids that are presented by UNRWA once in a while. It is mentioned that the AGPS documented about 27 victims from Khan Danuon camp who died during the ongoing war in Syria and also it documented 5 detainees in the Syrian Prisons.
