The Turkish Association for Solidarity with Palestine "FIDDAR" and a number of Turkish institutions (Özgür-Der, Mazlum Dar and ihak-iHH), demanded an end to the shelling of Yarmouk camp and the neutralization of the civilians trapped in it.
The institutions said in a statement, in solidarity with the march of return within the events of the seventieth Nakba anniversary, that “Yarmouk camp in Syria is being bombarded continuously since the 19th of April 2018, amid the presence of about 3000 civilian, Palestinian refugees inside it, who insisted on staying in their camp and held on to it, for the camp’s symbolism and evidence of the Palestinian Nakba, which has been ongoing for its seventieth year.”
The statement added: “The residents of Yarmouk camp have been taken hostage to terrorism and the abuses committed by ISIS inside the camp, and the victims of the bombardments and the siege performed by the Syrian regime from the outside.”
In the conclusion of its statement, they demanded, “The opening of safe, humanitarian corridors to allow the entry of medical staff and civil defense teams, to evacuate the injured Palestinian refugees in Yarmouk camp.”
FIDDAR had previously called on the General Assembly of the United Nations to intervene quickly and expeditiously for the preservation of Palestinian refugees, and to prevent the destruction of the camp, which is a shelter to the Palestinian refugees, in addition to opening safe corridors for the civilians, the entry of medical staff and the provision of urgent medical aid to the wounded, as well as to provide the essential relief and humanitarian items such as food, medicine and infant formula.
