The Action Group revealed in its documentational report titled “The Health Condition of the Palestinian Refugee Camps Amid the Syrian Crisis” the role played by ISIS, the armed groups and the Syrian regime in the deterioration of the health conditions in Yarmouk camp. The Group said that most relief and health institutions in Yarmouk halted their services in the camp, fearing ISIS’ kidnapping of the staff of these institutions. Yarmouk camp for Palestinian refugees in Damascus witnessed a rapid deterioration in the health situation in the first half of 2015, after ISIS took control of the camp. In April 2015, Palestine Hospital was bombarded with a number of mortar shells, and many of its staff got injured with different wounds. “Nasser Bakir,” “Mohammed Al-Bahry,” “Wessam Al-Ghoul” and “Mahmoud Khattab” were among the identified victims. Activists are also required to treat their wounds in primitive ways.
In its 54-page document, the Action Group noted that the total siege imposed by the Syrian regime on Yarmouk camp, which resulted in the lack of food and medical supplies and medicine from entering the camp, as well as the prevention of patients from leaving the camp for treatment, worsened the health conditions in Yarmouk camp. Al-Ezz ibn Abd Al-Salam battalion, affiliated to the opposition, acted similarly by banning the injured in the camp from entering Al-Tadamon neighborhood, to be treated in the field hospitals.
The Action Group confirmed in its report that the violations performed by ISIS in Yarmouk camp such as pursuing relief activists and medical personnel, stealing the contents of some hospitals and medical points, and imposing its total siege on the Ain Ghazal Street in the camp, aggravated the deterioration of the health conditions inside the camp.
On the 31st of August 2016, in Al-Rija Square that lies under the control of the Fath Al-Sham Movement, in Yarmouk camp, the Medical Rescue Center described the humanitarian and health conditions as bad, as a result of malnutrition and the lack of drinking water, because of the siege imposed on Al-Rija area by ISIS on one side, and the Syrian regime and the Palestinian factions loyal to it on the other.
