The AGPS correspondent reported that a tank of the regiment 137 targeted a bus was carrying a number of middle school students from Khan Al Shieh camp when they were returning to the camp after their exams. The shooting directly hit several buses on the edge of the road and resulted in a panic state among the students, pointing out that the members of the regiment have targeted the bus despite the United Nations flag and the coordination between the refugees' institution and UNRWA on the one hand and the seventh pision of the regular army on the other hand, as they know in advance the date of the entry and exit of students.
In the same context, a female student was injured in the head while returning to her house at Al Thanaweia Street. The student is from Khan Al Shieh camp in the ninth grade, and she was transferred immediately outside the camp in order to receive treatment despite the difficult security situation and the targeting of civilians.
Meanwhile, warplanes raided over adjacent areas and farms of Khan Al Shieh camp in the western suburb of Damascus, which resulted in a state of panic among residents for fear of their lives, coincided with violent clashes between the armed groups and the regular Army.
The deteriorated security situation at Khan Al Shieh camp has aggravated the living and humanitarian conditions after the Regular Army closed Zakia-Khan Al Shieh road; the only road linking the camp and the Syrian capital of Damascus, in addition to the prevention of food, medication, and bread entry causing a bread crisis.
Activists reported that the ongoing siege imposed by the Regular Army at Khan Al Shieh camp will lead to the loss of all food and medical materials, as they warned of repeating the Yarmouk crisis where 187 refugees starved to death.
A number of residents sent letters to the AGPS confirming that despite calls and appeals they launched to the PLO, the Palestinian factions, the human rights organizations, and the UNRWA, yet to no avail.
