Palestinian refugees displaced from Yarmouk Camp to adjacent towns spoke out against the state of anarchy that swamped the aid distribution process.
Speaking with AGPS, Palestinian activists in Yalda town said that after reports have emerged on the advent of relief items by the European AlWafa Campaign, civilians lined up at daybreak in streets for over six hours, before they were notified of an abrupt change in the distribution point.
According to the activists, a state of disarray flared up at the new delivery site while refugees quarreled over aid eligibility. Other residents swooped down on the aid-laden vehicles.
The crowd was only disbanded after gunshots were fired in the air by anonymous gunmen.
The activists attributed the mess to the mismanagement and lack of coordination between the campaigners and the local relief office.
The Syrian government forces have tightened grip on Yarmouk Camp, blocking civilians’ return to their homes. At the same time, ISIS militias have been grabbing hold of large parts of the shelter, toughening even further the noose around civilians’ neck.
