A meeting between the Palestine Liberation Organization’s (PLO) political factions discussed the squalid situation of Palestinian refugees in displacement camps across the Syrian territories.
The PLO sounded the alarm over the exacerbated humanitarian situation of the Palestinians of Yarmouk Camp due to coronavirus outbreak and the lockdown measures imposed across the country.
Amr Mourad, from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, said the meeting culminated in an emergency plan to work out the crises endured by the vulnerable Palestinian families.
He said positive initiatives have recently seen the day to push for the return of displaced families to their homes in Yarmouk Camp.
Palestinian families continue to call on the concerned authorities to allow them a safe return to their homes and to press ahead with reconstruction projects.
On January 07, 2020, Palestinian lawyer Nour AlDeen AlSaman, a resident of Yarmouk Camp, called on Palestinian refugees to file lawsuits in order to return to their homes and retrieve their properties in Yarmouk.
Scores of stranded families fled the camp following the 33-day military operation launched by the government forces on April 19, 2018. The Syrian government regained control over the camp and southern Damascus towns following the military operation. Dozens of civilians were killed and dozens more injured in the offensive. Over 80% of buildings have gone either totally or partially destroyed.
