Published : 05-10-2015

Graves Crisis at the Yarmouk Camp

A state of anxiety prevailed among the residents of the camp for fear of the deterioration and exacerbation of humanitarian situation due to this decision, which would increase their living suffering.

It is noted that ISIS and Al-Nusra in the Yarmouk camp and Al Hajar Al Aswad areas assassinated many members of the armed opposition groups and a number of activists in Yalda.

On the other hand, people of the Yarmouk camp is suffering from graves crisis to bury their dead, as the camp's cemetery is filled and no longer accommodate new dead.

The Yarmouk camp contains two graves of martyrs; the first one is the new martyrs cemetery and it contains graves of hundreds of martyrs of the Palestinian revolution and its figures such as the martyr Mahmoud al-Mabhouh and Fathi Shikaki, in addition to the Martyrs of "Al Awda march" in the anniversary of Nakba 05/15/2011 and Naksa06/06/2011.

 The second is the old cemetery, where it contains graves of thousands of Palestinian martyrs who were martyred in the history of the Palestinian revolution from the Yarmouk refugee camp, as well as graves of a large number of leaders of this revolution, namely the martyr Khalil al-Wazir and Martyr Saad Sayel; two historic leaders in the Palestinian Fatah movement.

In addition to the tomb of the martyr Abu Abbas, leader of the Palestine Liberation Front, while hundreds of the camp's residents, who have died because of the continued shelling of the camp, were added to the cemetery during the last two years.

It is noteworthy that the two graves were devastated and destructed as a result of the fall of a number of shells, as a number of graves in the Yarmouk cemetery were collapsed on 01.11.2015 due to the accumulation of snow.

Most of the new graves were buried without "tiles" due to the lack of raw materials due to siege, as a result some graves were collapsed, and some bodies were exposed, making it vulnerable to be exhumed by (dogs).
