A campaign has kicked off in Yarmouk Camp on Saturday to remove debris from residential alleys and access roads.
The measure has been carried out under the supervision of the General Authority for Palestinian Arab Refugees and the Charity Commission for the Relief of the Palestinian People, in partnership with the Palestine Liberation Organization.
In live videos and snapshots from the camp, bulldozers and trucks appear to carry debris out of the camp. Efforts have also been underway to reconstruct the old Shuhadaa Cemetery.
The Syrian government forces regained control over Yarmouk Camp and southern Damascus towns following a 33-day military operation launched on April 19. At least 33 civilians were killed and dozens more injured in the offensive. Over 80% of buildings in Yarmouk Camp have been either totally or partially destroyed in the warfare. 90% of homes have been subjected to burglary and looting.
