Volunteers from the Palestinian Red Crescent organized leisure activities for 35 children in the embattled Yarmouk Camp for Palestinian refugees, in the first such move during Syria’s eight-year warfare, which has inflicted severe trauma on children sheltered in the camp.
40 Palestinian families have remained in Yarmouk Camp, where they have been enduring calamitous humanitarian conditions as a result of the water and power blackouts along with the absence of humanitarian aid and basic services.
Dozens of Palestinian activists and relief officers have been pronounced dead in Yarmouk Camp as a result of heavy shelling, extrajudicial execution, or fatal torture in jail.
Most of Palestinian families taking shelter south of Damascus fled Yarmouk as a result of the tough blockade imposed by the government troops and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command and also after ISIS grabbed hold of the camp on April 1, 2015. Scores of other stranded families fled the camp following the 33-day military operation launched by the government forces on April 19.
