A number of activists and civilians from the besieged Yarmouk camp, organized a sit-in at the Orouba checkpoint in the direction of Yelda, south Damascus, with the aim of grabbing attention to their suffering and protection, and finding a just and dignified solution to their cause.
During the sit-in, which was held within the Together_for_Yarmouk_March30 Campaign, they demanded the neutralization of civilians from the conflict, the opening of the Orouba checkpoint, linking between Yelda and Yarmouk camp and considered their only lifeline, in addition to doing whatever is necessary to enhance their steadfastness and direct their voice to the relevant parties, especially the United Nations, UNRWA and the Palestine Liberation Organization.
This comes amid the ongoing siege imposed by the Syrian regime’s army and the Popular Front- General Command groups on Yarmouk camp, for 1714 consecutive days, as well as the water and electricity cuts, the banning of civilian movement to and from the camp and ISIS’s control over the camp and its ongoing violations against the people.
The residents of Neirab camp in Aleppo and the Khan Danon camp in the suburbs of Damascus, commemorated the 42nd Land Day, on Friday.
The residents of both camps organized a protest to stress on the rights of the Palestinian people to return to their land, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, and to denounce the deal of the century and the American president, Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, rejecting the policy of waiver or abandonment of land and sanctities. They also stressed that the accelerating schemes in the imposition of a fait accompli through the Judaization and settlement, will not succeed in breaking the will of the Palestinian people and changing historical facts.
This comes amid a great suffering experienced by the Palestinian refugees in their camps and gatherings, where the Syrian regime continues to bombard a number of them and impose its siege, as well as tightening its procedures against the Palestinian youth and forcing them to enroll in the compulsory military service or immigrate outside the country. It also continues to detain thousands of refugees, including women, children and elderly people.
