AGPS issued the English Version of the documentary report “Yarmouk Siege Has Not Ended.” The report discuss the Office of Humanitarian Affairs Coordination of the United Nations “UNOCHA” decision of removing the camp from its list of besieged areas in that is issued in 23-June 2015.
The report refers to the suffering of Palestinians of Syrian within the Syrian camps, compounds, and cities continues along with the prolonged crisis, extended conflict, and acts of protest while they are powerless. All gains achieved by the refugees during 67 years of preparation and planning for the day of returning back to their homeland, where parents and grandparents were born, were lost.
They found themselves facing a new Nakba, with all of its details, including the displacement, refuge, and pain.
The Report insured that The Yarmouk camp for Palestinian refugees is subjected to strict siege since mid-July, 2013, preventing its residents from entering or leaving it only strictly for humanitarian reasons. Additionally, humanitarian aid is prevented but only to Al-Rija Square, which is located on the first part of the camp near the regime's checkpoints where numerous arrests for residents who are coming to receive aids took place.
The Report describes the decision of the UNOCHA of removing the Yarmouk camp from the list of the besieged areas as a surprising step and considers the decision as threat to all attempts to end the suffering of the camp which had lasted for more than two years. In addition, it would emphasize the quo situation of besieging civilians and unending displacement and homelessness of displaced refugees as a result of the growing violence, bombing, and destruction of most of the camp surrounding areas.
This contradicts the statements of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, who described the camp as "a piece of hell, and its residents are in need for protection and cannot be abandoned," and that "ISIS" has committed crimes against humanity."
The report also introduces a group of indicators that insure the continuous siege on Yarmouk camp supported with a number of statistics documenting the victims and widespread diseases inside the camp. It is worthy to mention that AGPS published a press statement to insure that Yarmouk Camp is Still under Siege describing the decision of removing the camp from the list of the besieged areas as a wrong decision.
