Palestinian refugee families who have returned to Yarmouk Camp, south of Damascus, said sand barriers set up in the area have blocked their access out of and into nearby towns.
Photos circulated on social media network Facebook showed sand barriers as high as two meters being pitched on the main access roads to the camp.
Civilians said the move aims to isolate the camp from its adjacent neighborhoods and called on the Syrian authorities to restore traffic back to normal in the area, resume reconstruction works, and rehabilitate vital facilities for returnees.
