Secretary of the Palestinian Resistance Factions in Syria, Khaled Abdul Majid, said Syrian officials told Palestinian leaders in Damascus that Yarmouk Camp, south of Damascus, will not undergo a comprehensive rehabilitation process and that the concerned Syrian authorities pledged to reopen roads and clear debris in three months.
Speaking with AlWatan daily, Abdul Majid said reports on a new reorganizational plan in Yarmouk are groundless.
He quoted the Prime Minister, Imad Khameis, and senior military and political officials as stating that Yarmouk makes part of Damascus’s old roadmap.
He added that the Prime Minister backtracked on an earlier decision to set a new rehabilitation plan for Yarmouk Camp, which he said stands as a symbol of the Palestinian Nakba of 1948 and of Palestinians’ right of return.
Abdul Majid also said experts will be tasked by the Syrian government with determining destroyed buildings that need to have their debris cleared or reconstructed as has been the case in Harasta town, in Rif Dimashq, among other zones.
He stated that Yarmouk Camp stretches from Palestine Street down to Street 30, in line with a geographical map drawn by the Syrian government and the General Commission for Palestinian Refugees in 1994.
