Syrian warplanes dropped targeted Al Mazarea area between Al Qosour area and Darousha at the vicinity of Khan Al Shieh camp in the western suburb of Damascus with 4 explosive barrels. The Regular Army targeted the eastern vicinity of the camp with a number of artillery shells resulted in a state of panic among residents. Many residents were killed due to the shelling, including women and children, while the AGPS documented 153 victims who died since the beginning of the war events.
The AGPS correspondent in Khan Al Shieh camp reported that families are suffering of dire conditions, as a large number of youth are unemployed and always rely on aid provided by UNRWA and some relief organizations, since most residents live in an almost completely besieged area. The organizations provide insufficient aid for a small number of families, while UNRWA provides them with aid every two or three months.
Our correspondent noted that bread, food, and fuel are also available at the black market. Those materials enter through Zakia adjacent town at very high prices as a result of the closing Zakia road, which is the only road that serves 2000 families.
Checkpoints of the regular army are still closing all roads linking the camp with the center of the capital Damascus, forcing residents to go through the dangerous sub-road of Zakia to reach Damascus.
