AGPS’s correspondent in south Damascus confirmed the death of an infant from Yarmouk camp due to the ongoing, imposed siege and the lack of medical care.
Our reporter added that the infant’s health deteriorated on Friday morning. He suffers from pulmonary problems and due to the absence of a respirator in Yarmouk camp, he was transferred to “Shahid Al-Mohareb” Hospital in the neighboring town, Yelda. Two and a half hours after being put on the respirator, he passed away.
Another infant from the camp had died on Wednesday 1st of November because of the siege imposed by the regime and its affiliated factions, as well as the lack of medical care. Her case had required her transfer to one of Damascus’s hospitals, however due to the unavailability of her transfer and the closure of Al-Orouba crossing, which passes through Yelda and the camp, the infant passed away.
AGPS’s statistics reveal that 201 male and female Palestinian refugees, mostly from Yarmouk camp, have died as the result of a lack of nutrition and medical care caused by the siege imposed.
