Yesterday was the third anniversary of what has become known as the "Mig Massacre" committed by Syrian regime warplanes on Abdel-Kader Al-Husseini Mosque in the Yarmouk camp in Damascus, which was that time an evacuation center for hundreds of families who fled to the camp from surrounding areas, the raid resulted in dozens of victims and injuries, most of them children and women.
That raid was the starting point of a major shift in Yarmouk issue, when the largest wave of migration started to occur and the suffering of thousands of Palestinian-Syrians stared.
Yarmouk also underwent a tight siege by the regime's army and the militias of PFLP-GC which caused a halt of the work of all hospitals and facilities of the camp, as well as to run out of food, which led to the death of 184 Palestinian refugees out of hunger and lack of medical services, that rose the total of Palestinian victims in the Yarmouk refugee camp to 1018.
The siege is still imposed, and the state of crisis increased after ISIS broke into the camp last April, the besieged Palestinian refugees had fallen between the jaws of the siege and ISIS.
