Reporting from Damascus western outskirts, AGPS correspondent said five civilians, including a child, were left wounded in an onslaught by the Syrian regime forces on Khan Al-Shih Camp and its eastern and western environs using explosive barrels, missiles, artillery shells, and mortar fire.
The child has been in a very critical condition while another lady, sheltered in the camp, had her two legs amputated due to the offensive. The third victim sustained chest wounds.
AGPS reporter added that the Syrian regime militias prevented paramedics from evacuating the wounded civilians outside the camp for urgent treatment.
The Syrian forces further targeted civilian homes with heavy spates of machinegun fire unleashed from the self-propelled Shilka tanks.
Three fighter aircrafts also slammed over 10 explosive barrels and a surface-to-surface missile on Khan Al-Shih area, at the same time as bloody hostilities flared up between the regime abettors and the opposition outfits across surrounding flashpoints.
Activists from Khan Al-Shih camp called on the civilians to stay indoors in the safest zones of the camp after reports emerged on an underway deadly escalation by the Syrian regime militias.
According to AGPS data, 192 refugees sheltered in Khan Al-Shih Camp were killed since the outburst of the Syrian warfare.
The situation has gone far worse due to the tough blockade slapped by the regime forces on the camp for over 39 days, leaving nearly 12,000 civilians, including 3,000 children, with neither food nor medicines. Civilians have also been grappling with frequent power and water blackouts after the camp had run out of fuel reserves.
Residents of Khan Al-Shih have frequently launched cries for help and appealed for urgent intervention by the international community, the Palestine Liberation Organization, and the UNRWA. However most of their cries have gone unheard, despite their commitment to neutrality and disarmament in the ongoing warfare.
AGPS field team quoted sources inside the camp as stating that a humanitarian crisis has been awaiting civilians and children around the corner due to the tough blockade and acute dearth in basic foodstuff and life-saving medicines.
