Sayeda Zainab camp in Damascus suburb, which is controlled by the Syrian regime army and popular committees, is considered one of the relatively peaceful Palestinian camps, but the inhabitants still suffering from an economic crisis increased living costs, with the weakness of financial resources and the spread of unemployment, prompting some of them to travel or work out in the pro-regime popular Committees.
At the beginning of 2013, armed opposition groups entered the camp, and after violent clashes and shelling for 7 months, the Syrian army entered the camp, and then the pro-regime Palestinian popular committees took over the task of protecting the camp.
Those battles have had negative effects on the camp and its residents; devastation is still a witness in the camp, which came on a large part of it, while several residents died; reports estimated them with 100 victims and 200 injuries between amputation and permanent disabilities. The AGPS documented the names of 42 victims.
