Our correspondent in Yarmouk camp for Palestinian refugees in Damascus confirmed that the Syrian opposition allowed the opening of the Orouba crossing yesterday, which is the only port for the residents of the camp, for one hour only. About 20 families were allowed to pass through it, before it was closed again immediately.
Our correspondent noted that the opening of the crossing took place in the evening, making a number of families leave as they thought the checkpoint would not open. Our reporter added that the Syrian opposition factions did not provide a mechanism for operation of the crossing within the upcoming days, as well as not confirming whether or not it will reopen the checkpoint.
The armed Syrian opposition factions closed the Orouba crossing completely two days ago, where it closed the road with dirt mounds to ban any movement through it.
