The Action Group for Palestinians of Syria demanded the Syrian regime to allow the entry of medical staff and civil defense teams to work in Yarmouk camp, and remove the bodies from under the rubble and debris.
It also condemned the Syrian regime’s refusal to allow the residents of Yarmouk camp to exhume the bodies of their dead victims buried under the rubble, which was caused by the heavy bombardment of the camp by the warplanes of the regime, during its military operation in south Damascus.
The Action Group called on the international community and human rights organizations to intervene and put pressure on the Syrian regime to remove the bodies of the Palestinian families that remain under the rubble of their homes, in Yarmouk camp for Palestinian refugees in Damascus.
The Action Group noted that the bodies of a number of Palestinian civilians, mostly children and women, remain under the destroyed buildings, resulting from the Syrian regime’s bombardments in which it targeted rockets and artillery shells at the cellars that sheltered the civilians in the camp, leaving two Palestinian refugees dead and dozens injured, most of which were women and children. A large number of refugees remain under the rubble.
The Group explained that the death of entire families in their homes were detected, as in the case of Al-Ghoutani family, Al-Hadba family and the Amouri family. Al-Nabulsi family members died after their shelter was bombarded.
The Action Group confirmed that the smell of death and bodies are being emitted from the rubble of the destroyed buildings in Yarmouk camp, demanding the introduction of the Civil Defense teams and the Disaster Management Unit, which have the necessary equipment to start the exhumation of the bodies in Yarmouk camp.
The Action Group therefore calls on the UNRWA and the Palestinian Authority and factions to assume their responsibilities towards Yarmouk camp and to work on the exhumation and burial of the victims in a manner that ensures the dignity of the victims and their families.
