A number of residents of Yarmouk refugee camp, who entered to inspect their homes and properties after the Syrian regime regained control of Yarmouk camp and Al-Hajar Al-Aswad neighborhood, reported that about 70% of the buildings and lanes of Yarmouk camp have been totally destroyed, pointing out that they could not easily identify their homes and their neighborhoods as a result of the great destruction that was caused to the camp.
They noted that the destruction and defamation of the camp is systematic and studied by the Syrian regime, which allowed its elements to steal the houses of civilians in Yarmouk, in front of everyone’s eyes, without being held accountable and punished.
Witnesses from the camp’s residents said they saw "large bulldozers" accompanied by members of the regime sweeping the ground to remove the main electricity cable,s in order to burn them and sell them. They also saw two members of the regime fighting to retrieve every item they wanted to seize.
One of the elements of the Palestinian factions loyal to the regime posted a video in which he expressed his anger at the “Afshia.” "A large part of my house is destroyed and there are only a few possessions left, so I will break them and destroy them so that these thieves will not steal them," he said.
