Tents have been uprooted and others have fallen apart as torrential downpours have swamped Deir Ballout Camp for Palestinian refugees in Jindires in Afrin north of Syria.
Pictures and videos circulated on social media show dozens of Palestinians lying in the streets without roofs over their heads and children shivering of cold.
Refugees have not had a moment’s rest as they have been trying to rinse out the overflow caused by the heavy rain showers.
350 Palestinian families sheltered in Deir Ballout Camp along with 75 other families taking refuge in al-Shabiba Camp in I’zaz area in Aleppo’s suburbs have been struggling for survival after they were forcibly deported from Yarmouk Camp south of Damascus.
The rampant Syrian warfare has had disastrous fallouts on the Palestinian refugees hundreds of whom have been pronounced dead due to war-related incidents while hundreds of others have been locked up in Syrian government dungeons where dozens have also been tortured to death.
