The Syrian authorities greenlighted the return of 500 families to Yarmouk Camp, in Damascus, out of 1,200 displaced families who applied for return after November 10, said member of the Executive office of Damascus Governorate, Samir AlJazerli.
He said only families whose demands met the required conditions, most notably proved ownership of the property and habitability conditions, were given entry permits.
