Spokesman of UNRWA, Chris Gunness, expressed concern about the humanitarian consequences of the violent armed conflict between the extremist armed groups inside the Yarmouk since the sixth of April.
Gunness said in remarks published by the media department of the United Nations: "It is painful to see another chapter of high tension and suffering imposed on civilians in the Yarmouk camp."
He explained that "the ongoing fierce fighting not only results in casualties and deaths among civilians, but it also sharply exacerbates the shortages of food and drinking water for about 6000 families within the Yarmouk."
Meanwhile, "UNRWA" called the concerned parties to cease hostilities and comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law to respect and protect the lives of civilians in the Yarmouk camp.
