Activists told AGPS that ambulance and civil defense teams were absent from Yarmouk camp for Palestinian refugees, due to the fact that most relief and community institutions stopped working inside the camp since ISIS imposed its control in early April 2015, compounding fears for the lives of the civilians living in the camp, especially during the past few days in which the Syrian regime launched dozens of raids on the camp. The activists confirm the presence of many stranded civilians under the rubble to this moment, where the people were unable to save them due to the lack of any necessary mechanisms or specialized rescue teams.
The residents of the camp are suffering from the lack of basic medical services. All the medical points have stopped working inside the camp.
The activists of Yarmouk camp have issued repeated calls to the International Red Crescent and Red Cross, to urge them to take urgent and immediate action to protect the wounded, sick and elderly in Yarmouk camp.
