The National Committee for Relief of Palestinians of Syria released a list of patients from Yarmouk and its vicinities who will receive treatment in Damascus following the approval of the Syrian authorities.
The list includes 44 patients diagnosed with chronic and life-threatening diseases wrought by the tough blockade enforced on Yarmouk since mid 2013. Except for the resource-deprived Palestine Clinic, most of clinics and hospitals in Yarmouk have gone out of operation in the raging warfare.
Sometime earlier, sources from Yarmouk told AGPS that over 189 Palestinian refugees stranded in Yarmouk and nearby towns are in need of urgent medical referrals.
AGPS field reporter also sounded the alarm over the spread of typhoid and jaundice among children and elderly people in Tahrir AlSham-led zones west of Yarmouk due to the blockade imposed by the Syrian government forces and ISIS. Contaminated water supplies have made the situation far worse.
