Four years have elapsed since the so-called Al-Meigh Massacre, also known as the Massacre of Abdul Kadir Al-Husseini Mosque, took place on December 16, 2016, when onslaughts by the Syrian fighter jets on Al-Husseini Mosque, in Yarmouk, took away the lives of dozens of civilians, mostly women and children.
The massacre led to the deportation of hundreds of refugees sheltered in the camp, in what has been described as the most massive exodus from Palestinian refugee camps in Syria.
Today, only 8,000 refugees have remained in the shelter. The situation has gone far worse due to the tough blockade imposed by the regime army and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-GC. As a result, all hospitals and facilities in the camp suspended their services. Civilians have also run out of much-needed foodstuff.
According to AGPS data, 1,284 Palestinian refugees died in Yarmouk Camp, 192 among whom due to undernourishment and medical neglect.
ISIS capture of the camp in April 2015 and the daily crackdowns on the refugees added bad to worse in Yarmouk.
