A Palestinian toddler died on Monday, August 14, as a result of the blockade and medical neglect inflicted on Yarmouk Camp for Palestinian refugees.
AGPS reporter identified the casualty as two-day-old Fadia Udai AlJada’. The latter breathed her last after she had run out of oxygen supply on way out of Yarmouk Camp to Babila town to receive treatment.
AGPS kept record of the names of 197 Palestinian refugees who died as a result of starvation and lack of medical care in besieged refugee camps across war-torn Syria, mostly in Yarmouk.
A tough cordon has been imposed by the Syrian government forces on the camp since mid 2013, hindering civilians’ access to much-needed food and medicines. Power and water supplies to the camp have also been cut off for several months running.
