In its newly-released 16th statistical report documenting the number of Palestinian detainees in war-stricken Syria since March 2011 until June 2018, AGPS kept record of the death of 166 Palestinian refugees from Syria during the first half of 2018, among them 101 civilians and 65 gunmen.
The list also includes 15 female refugees, 151 males, and 12 children.
The second quarter of 2018 saw an increase in the death toll, with 109 victims in April, May, and June, up from 57 in the first quarter.
118 refugees, among 166 pronounced dead during the first half of 2018 in the raging warfare, died in Damascus and its suburbs due to bloody hostilities waged by the Syrian government to recapture southern Syria.
36 Palestinians died in unidentified locations while a resident of Yarmouk was shot dead during a quarrel in Burj Barajneh in Beirut.
As for the leading causes of death, 66 refugees died as a result of bloody confrontations and fatal shootouts during the first half of 2018; 50 died under shelling, and 26 were tortured to death.
At the same time, three Palestinians died as a result of the blockade imposed on Yarmouk Camp and two refugees were killed in blasts. Extra-judicial executions took away the lives of nine Palestinians. Two more refugees were gunned down by sniper bullets and another was assassinated. Seven other Palestinians died in unknown locations.
