The Medical Rescue Center (MRC) in Fatah Al-Sham-run Al-Rija area, in Yarmouk, has been going through a severe shortage in medicines and medical equipment.
Photos of children and patients undergoing operations were posted on the MRC’s Facebook page.
MRC Director, Doctor Reyad Idris, said the humanitarian situation is getting from bad to worse in the Al-Rija area, blockaded by the government troops and ISIS militias.
He warned of the swift propagation of such deadly diseases and syndromes as typhoid, respiratory tract infections, itching, and skin rash among civilians, mostly children below the age of eight.
Meanwhile, ISIS militias in Yarmouk have been taking cover in the camp for fear of being killed in the unabated shelling and sniping.
In photos leaked from the area, ISIS fighters appear as lifting metal and sand barriers to dig out trenches.
