The labor forces in institutions, civil bodies, local councils and a number of military factions in south Damascus, have issued a statement to clarify the civilian situation in the Yarmouk camp region, Al-Hajar Al-Aswad, Al-Tadamon and Al-Assaly.
AGPS received a copy of the statement that said approximately 6000 civilians live in the areas of Yarmouk camp, Al-Hajar Al-Aswad, Al-Tadamon and Al-Assaly, stressing that these areas, including civilians, are civilians, not elements or loyalists of ISIS.
The statement also revealed that the children in these areas account for 40% of the population, while 30% are women, 10% are elderly people and 20% are men.
The statement added that civilians in these areas are living in a difficult humanitarian situation, due to the lack of financial sources, the widespread of unemployment, the difficult security conditions and the tightening procedures imposed by ISIS.
The institutions also noted that people staying in their homes is not a crime, but a right reserved by religious and international laws, noting that the international institutions and UNRWA have a database of the civilians living in those areas.
According to our correspondent, a number of civil institutions and military factions refused to sign the statement.
The regime’s army and the Popular Front groups - General Command, continue to impose their siege on Yarmouk camp for 1585 consecutive days.
