The remaining residents of Yarmouk camp and the towns of the southern region of Damascus, are living difficult days, because of the military campaign launched by the Syrian regime on the 19th of April, with the aim of breaking into and controlling the area. They are missing the most important elements of life and lacking other services, because of the suffocating siege imposed by the Syrian regime on that region, especially the towns of Yelda, Babilla and Beit Sahm. The closure of the Sidi Mekdad barrier has prevented the entry of foodstuffs, medicines, fuel and drinking water, resulting in the loss of all foodstuffs and the increase in their prices, as well as the lack of the basic life necessities, despite the fact that the towns of Yelda, Babilla, Beit Sahm and Al-Qadam neighborhood are witnessing a truce with the regime, since 2014.
Meanwhile, activists in the neighboring towns of Yarmouk camp, appealed to all international and national relief agencies, to exert their efforts to provide relief to dozens of displaced families from Yarmouk camp to the towns of Yelda, Babilla and Beit Sahm, to flee the heavy and extensive bombardments targeting the camp, for the sixth consecutive day.
