Dozens of Palestinian refugees took to the streets of Deraa city, south of Syria, as they called on the Syrian security forces and their Russian allies to lift the tough cordon imposed around the area.
The Syrian security forces continue to block civilians’ access out of and into the area. As a result, families have run out of vital food items and medicines.
Earlier, this week, an attack by the Syrian government forces targeted civilian houses in Deraa Camp.
Reporting from the area, an AGPS correspondent said Syrian forces deployed at checkpoints pitched around Deraa opened machinegun fire on houses overnight, sparking panic among children.
Recently, a tough cordon has been imposed by the Syrian security forces and their Russian allies around Deraa city, after a number of residents refused Russian demands to return their private weapons.
Local sources told AGPS that all access roads to the city centre have been blocked except for the Sajneh road, where three military checkpoints have been pitched.
Palestinian refugees have expressed concerns over a new wave of forced military conscription and arbitrary manhunts in the area.
