In letters emailed to AGPS, Palestinian refugees forcibly deported from Yarmouk Camp to northern Syria appealed to UNRWA to deliver its in-kind and cash aids to the displaced families as has been the case in government-held zones.
The displaced families urged all concerned institutions and the international community to take up their responsibilities as regards over 100,000 Palestinian families displaced from Yarmouk, Eastern Ghouta, Hums, and Aleppo among other beleaguered areas, for over five years and to work on facilitating their access to humanitarian aid and vital facilities.
The refugees said they have been enduring dire conditions, warning of an imminent humanitarian disaster in the area.
Hundreds of Palestinians formerly sheltered in Yarmouk Camp and who later fled to southern Damascus towns were forcibly deported to northern Syria following a deal struck between the Syrian government troops and the opposition outfits in April. The deal stipulated that opposition forces and their families retreat to northern Syria.
Some 2,500 Palestinian refugees were deported from Khan Eshieh Camp, in Rif Dimashq, to Idlib, north of Syria, on November 28, 2016 following the reconciliation deal.
