The medical staff inside the Yarmouk camp appealed to all the concerned organizations including UNRWA and Red Crescent to do their best to allow medicines of typhoid fever and jaundice into the camp as the medical centres run out of drugs which had been entered previously, and warned of the consequences of the responding slowdown which may escalate diseases among the people of the besieged camp.
The rest of the people of the Yarmouk camp who are estimated at (3) to (5) thousand civilians had suffered of acute shortage of medical services, because of the continuing siege imposed by the regime's army and groups of the PFLP-GC, which exposed hospitals to bombing and led to major damage and stoppage of work.
The control of ISIS on the camp since the beginning of April 2015 also had exacerbated the situation, where the relief organizations had been forced to get out towards the town of Yalda, particularly after the assassination of many activists.
