The Syrian Red Crescent has stopped distribution of bread loafs to the stranded residents of Yarmouk for the 6th day in a row.
Reporting from the area, AGPS correspondent said that on February 2, 2017, the Syrian Red Crescent suspended bread delivery to Yarmouk residents on claims that the contract struck to that end has expired.
He added that the residents of Yarmouk have run out of basic food items due to the tough blockade slapped by the Syrian regime army and their war abettors for 1,328 days running.
According to AGPS reporter, those stuck in the Fatah Al-Sham-controlled Haifa Street have not received bread for over a month’s time due to the tight cordon imposed by ISIS militias.
Local activists and civilians appealed to the UNRWA and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), among other concerned bodies, to take urgent action vis-à-vis the crisis and work on securing bread to the stranded residents of Yarmouk, where women, children, and sick civilians risk to die of undernourishment.
At least 190 Palestinian refugees were killed due to the blockade and medical neglect in war-torn Syria, 186 among whom identified as residents of the Yarmouk shelter.
