Violent clashes broke out overnight Wednesday between Filastin AlHurra battalion and pro-government forces in Yarmouk. Another round of clashes between armed militias further rocked the shelter.
Palestinian refugee Fadi Abdul Majid, from Filastin AlHurra, was pronounced dead following the clashes. Others, on both sides, were left wounded.
Meanwhile, conflicting reports have emerged on the probable retreat of Tahrir AlSham Commission from Yarmouk Camp following a deal struck between the Syrian government and the opposition groups. Key to the deal is the evacuation of the government-run AlFou’a and Kafriya, in northern Syria, in exchange for the disarmament of AlZabadani, Madaya, and Yarmouk Camp.
In a statement to Qasion news agency, Tahrir AlSham Commission denied reports on its projected withdrawal from Yarmouk and said it had not taken part in any negotiations to evacuate Kafria and AlFou’a, north of Idlib, from civilians and armed militias.
Residents of Yarmouk Camp have been facing dire conditions to the tough blockade enforced by the government forces for 1,377 days running. The situation has gone from bad to worse due to the crackdowns perpetrated by ISIS militias, forcing several residents to flee to nearby towns.
