Agencies from the besieged Yarmouk Camp reported that ISIS gave the besieged families in areas controlled by " Fateh Sham Front" time limit until next Tuesday to leave the area before closing it completely, and threatened to close the camp indefinitely.
Since August 5, ISIS imposed a blockade on Rija area and its vicinity, Ain Ghazal and Haifa Streets in the Yarmouk refugee camp after closing the only barrier, which connects "Fateh Sham Front" areas, and does not allow anyone to get in or out of the area. Moreover, ISIS prevents aid and food, except in rare cases, in an attempt to put pressure on the rest of the "Fateh Sham Front" fighters to surrender or to get out of the besieged camp.
Dr. Ryad Idress, the head of Alenqaz medical center, has described the living and health condition in the besieged area in the Yarmouk camp as miserable. He also confirmed that there are many diseases spread in the camp such as, gastroenteritis, enterotyphus, and inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, in addition to dermal diseases, such as itching and skin rash. He also cleared that children under 8 are the high-risk people, where they suffer from inflammation of the abdomen, and high temperature, which reached 40% in some cases, in addition to general weakness.
