Videos and pictures have been published recently on social media, showing the Syrian regime forces stealing the houses and properties of the Palestinian refugees in Yarmouk camp, without fear or suspicion or impunity.
The members of the regime sort the stolen items and load them onto large trucks in front of the public eye, and transfer them to be sold in the markets of Damascus. The videos show the frustration and resentment of the residents of Yarmouk camp, as they watch the furniture of their homes, their clothes and their personal belongings disappear before their eyes, unable to do anything. In an incident, which proves this, a verbal argument broke out between a resident of Yarmouk camp, who is also a member of the media team of Liwaa Al-Quds, and a member of the Syrian regime while they stole his house in front of his eyes. He did not care why, but just wanted to photograph his house saying, "Take everything but let me take photos of my house.”
In another incident, two old men came to see their house in Yarmouk camp. They found the members of the regime looting the objects of their house. They told them that those items belonged to them, but the members of the regime replied spontaneously that members of ISIS had used them and they are now theirs, adding that if they do not leave now, they will be accused of belonging to ISIS.
For their part, the residents of Yarmouk camp held the Syrian regime fully accountable for the theft, looting and expropriation of the camp, which destroyed more than 80% of the buildings. They also condemned the suspicious silence of the Palestinian factions loyal to the regime, which instead of protecting the homes of its people, participated in the theft and looting.
