Each worker also pays about $60 per month in transportation costs to reach the camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that the most recent salary increases by <em>Save the Children <\/em>covered only the organization\u2019s permanent staff, excluding day laborers despite their repeated demands to be included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the source, the sit-in began early in the morning as workers refused to report to their posts until their demands are met. Camp management intervened and urged the protesters to wait for a resolution from the organization\u2019s higher administration, while the local coordinator of <em>Save the Children<\/em> had yet to respond as of press time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hawl Camp hosts tens of thousands of residents, including families of the Islamic State (ISIS) members from Syria, Iraq, and other countries. More than 50 local and international organizations operate inside the camp or provide direct support to its residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Samer Yassin<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HASAKAH, Syria (North Press) \u2013 Day laborers known as \u201cincentive workers\u201d employed by Save the Children staged on Sunday a sit-in at Hawl Camp in the countryside of Hasakah, northeastern Syria, protesting low wages and the organization\u2019s failure to grant them permanent employment after years of service.
