Hundreds of Palestinians families have been forced out of their shelters in Jilin as hostilities between ISIS and the opposition outfits kicked into high gear.
AGPS field reporter said Jilin Camp, controlled by ISIS-affiliated Khaled Ibn AlWalid battalion and located in Jilin town, in Yarmouk Basin, in Daraa’s western outskirts has become a permanent target of shelling. Only a handful of families, out of 450 Palestinian families formerly sheltered in the camp, remained in the area.
A number of families, mostly comprising sick and elderly members, have remained in Jilin town, home to 700 families. A couple of days earlier, Khaled Ibn AlWalid fighters ordered the residents of Jilin Camp to evacuate their homes.
Several residents have gone homeless in the overcrowded areas of Wadi AlYarmouk, Zizon, and AlMuzeireeb, having no shelter to take cover in.
A massacre perpetrated by ISIS in Jilin by the end of February, following clashes with the pro-government forces, took away the lives of dozens of civilians, whose names were documented by AGPS.
At the end of March, four refugees sustained wounds after they were attacked by ISIS on their way out of Jilin Camp.
