A video circulated on social media networks showed a barefoot Palestinian child, believed to be from Yarmouk Camp, as living rough in Damascus streets.
The child said he fled a so-called “Child’s Rights Shelter” due to the heavy beating he had been made to endure. He added that his father died while his mother got married to another man.
The orphan appealed for a safe place to take shelter in as he has been sleeping in the streets near AlRais Bridge in Damascus.
Responding to the video, activists called on the humanitarian institutions to take urgent action so as to save the child and provide him with a safe shelter.
