The Syrian regime forces bombarded ISIS’s sites in Yarmouk camp on Monday-Tuesday night, with mortar shells and surface-to-surface missiles, causing material damage.
Intermittent clashes also broke out between ISIS and the Syrian regime forces and the Palestinian factions affiliated to it, yesterday morning, on the axis of the Martyrs’ Sector in Yarmouk camp. Light, medium and heavy machine guns were used in the fighting that coincided with the bombardment of other areas in the camp that led to material damage.
In the meantime, there is still uncertainty about the fate of hundreds of civilians still living in the camp and waiting with extreme concern for the battle to begin in south Damascus, which will impose danger on their lives if a safe corridor is not opened for them to leave Yarmouk camp.
UNRWA’s spokesperson, “Samy Meshaashaa” had previously described the security developments in Yarmouk camp and its surroundings as “worrying,” and called on all sides of the conflict to give the civilians who want to flee the areas of conflict, an opportunity to leave safely and peacefully.
He added: “Medical evacuations and safe access should also be allowed for the distribution of life-saving assistance, which include food and medicine, to all civilians trapped inside Yarmouk and its adjacent areas; Yelda, Babilla and Beit Sahm.”
