The remaining residents of the Yarmouk camp launched an urgent appeal yesterday demanding each of ISIS and Al Nusra Front to stop fighting for 6 hours so as civilians, who are trapped in the clashes areas, manage to go out to safe places, as well as the trapped people to get their needs. They also demanded the Syrian regime and the Palestinian factions to re-pump water to the camp and not to use water as a weapon against innocent civilians.
They also stress that this policy did not affect only the civilians, and that the size of violent clashes waged by the two parties during the six days against each other proved that they do not lack any weapon or ammunition, and were not affected by the blockade. The appealing statement demanded the PLO, the Palestinian factions, and UNRWA to shoulder their responsibilities towards the ongoing and renewable suffering all the while, where we have not heard a word from them about the current tragedy in the camp - according to the statement.
The statement also called on the Syrian and Palestinian media, activists, and journalists to be a united voice in this hard time.
At the conclusion of the appeal residents stressed that the continuation of the Syrian regime to force people to rely on meager aid provided by relief organizations -which was supposed to be a medical emergency aid - and the continuation of siege, has made the overall situation fragile, can be up to rock bottom again as a result of any event occurring in the camp
This appeal comes after the aggravated suffering of the Yarmouk people as a result of the continuing clashes between ISIS and Al Nusra Front for the seventh day respectively, and the resumption of the Syrian regime and the supporting Palestinian factions to target the Yarmouk and keep besieging it.
The clashes and sniping have exacerbated the living conditions of the camp's inhabitants, where dozens of families are unable to leave the camp out of hot places to safer areas and completely prevented from -as the rest of the people in the besieged camp- to get water from artesian wells after the Syrian regime cut off water for 582 days.
