Residents of Yarmouk Camp continue to denounce the movement crackdowns at checkpoints run by Russian forces.
Civilians have reportedly been denied access to the local cemetery to pray for their deceased relatives.
Eye-witnesses told AGPS that checkpoints run by the Syrian and Russian forces continue to cordon off Street 30 and AlMaghareba neighborhood in Yarmouk Camp.
Over recent years, activists have slammed the Russian and Syrian government forces for ransacking the old cemetery of Yarmouk Camp, in Damascus, in search of the body remains of Israeli soldiers killed in the Battle of Sultan Yaakoob in Lebanon in 1982.
On April 19, 2018, a military operation launched by Syria’s government battalions and their Russian abettors led to the destruction of 60% of civilian buildings and premises in Yarmouk Camp. Dozens of civilians were killed and hundreds injured in the offensive.
Heavy damage was wrought on Yarmouk’s AlShuhadaa Cemetery as graves were hit with barrel bombs and headstones smashed by missiles and mortar shells.
