Dozens of the Palestinian-Syrian families stranded in Al-Ghouta, Damascus, renewed their demands through the Action Group, to all of the international organizations, UNRWA in particular, in addition to the Palestinian official bodies, the Palestinian embassy in Damascus, the PLO, and the Arab and European relief institutions, to work towards putting a limit to their suffering and sending urgent relief aid to them.
About 250 Palestinian-Syrian families in the eastern Ghouta area, are suffering from extremely difficult living conditions, because of the tightening of the Syrian regime siege on the neighborhoods of Ghouta and its prevention of allowing the entry of any food or medical aid.
According to the information received by the Action Group, the families are distributed across the towns of Duma, Zamalka, Hazeh and Homoreya, which are often subjected to bombardments. The towns are also suffering from a severe shortage of food and medical sources because of the siege, which has pushed relief and medical institutions to launch many distress calls, especially after the outbreak of malnutrition among dozens of children.
The neighborhoods of Ghouta have been under siege since early September 2013, but the regime has tightened its siege significantly during the past few days.
