The remaining residents of the Yarmouk camp in Damascus, who are estimated with 3000-5000 civilians, are suffering of severe shortage of medical services due to the strict siege imposed by the regular army and the PFGC groups for 1090 days. They also suffer from the continuous shelling that targets the main hospitals of the camp, which led to severe damages that led to the suspension of its work.
Meanwhile, the control of ISIS over the camp, since the beginning of last April, has exacerbated these conditions, while most relief bodies were forced to leave the camp towards Yalda town following assassinations of many activities by ISIS.
187 Palestinian refugees have died due to the siege as a result of the lack of nutrition and the medical care.
