Ahmed Majdalani, Member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, asserted that "The Palestinian leadership attaches particular importance to the search for an international conference, to finance the reconstruction, in partnership with related parties and specifically the Syrian government, as it is the host country."
According to Palestinian media, this came in a discussion held by Majdalani on Wednesday, with the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Pierre Krähenbühl, where he discussed the latest political updates and developments in Yarmouk camp, and the possibility of working on reconstructing the camp.
Majdalani discussed the difficult humanitarian situation of the Palestinian refugees in Syria and Lebanon, especially in Yarmouk camp, where reports indicate the mass destruction of the camp and the lack of infrastructure. This requires cooperation with the Syrian government and the Agency, for reconstruction, beginning with the of the destroyed houses and the provision of the the basic necessities of life.

He also stressed on the importance of reconstruction and working seriously, despite all the difficult conditions, in order to fill the deficit in the budget, as well as the ability to mobilize financial support for the reconstruction of Yarmouk camp.
