The AGPS demanded, in a statement was published at its website yesterday, all conflict parties inside Syria, especially the Syrian authorities, considering it as a host country, to move urgently to end the siege of the Yarmouk camp and to find a solution that will avoid the camp hostilities similarly to the rest of adjacent camps that implemented the reconciliation.
The statement also called the Palestinian authority, the PLO, and the Arab League to intervene immediately between the concerned parties of the conflicting order to provide the required protection for the Palestinians, considering them as refugees waiting to return to their homes.
The AGPS also appealed, in its statement, the international community, represented by UNRWA, international governmental and non-governmental organizations, and Human Rights Council to seriously and effectively work to end the Yarmouk siege, and to secure a safe environment so as to allow the entry of relief supplies to the residents and to facilitate the return of the displaced people to their houses.
Moreover, the AGPS considered that the ongoing practices inside the Yarmouk camp; such as starving and terrorizing acts towards the Palestinian refugees a crime against the humanity that requires urgent and serious actions to save what can be saved and do what is necessary to preserve the lives of civilians.
Confirming the need to end the Yarmouk siege and to allow the entry of fuel, heating materials, food and medical supplies, to allow the return of the displaced people to their houses, to get the patients out of the camp, and to open the road, in addition to implement the initiatives that call to neutralize the camp.
However the statement indicated that the continuous siege imposed on the Yarmouk camp for more than 550 days, the water cuts for more than 120 days, the power cuts for almost two years, and the dire living and humanitarian conditions, that coincide with the spread of diseases and the loss of basic necessary materials, in addition to the repeated assassinations and arrest campaigns, as well as the reoccurring hostilities, clashes, and shelling that led to the death of almost 1011 victims from the Yarmouk camp residents.

In a related context, violent clashes broke out at the Yarmouk camp south of the Syrian capital since early morning, at a number of conflict areas, at Rama Street in the entrance of the camp, and the Yarmouk municipality at Palestine Street between groups affiliated to the armed Syrian opposition and the regular army alongside with the Palestinian factions loyal to it.
This comes in light of the deep low temperature that affected Syria and the surrounding countries several days ago, which worsen the suffering of the besieged Palestinian refugees, who suffer of the loss of fuel and the water and power cut, forcing many of them to smash their wooden furniture for heating in an attempt to alleviate the consequences of the bitter cold.
