Palestinian activists south of Damascus said the municipal council of Yalda, Babilla, and Beit Sahem announced its intent to force displaced civilians, among them hundreds of Palestinian refugees, from abandoned homes due to the absence of official leases.
A Palestinian family displaced from Yarmouk Camp said Yalda municipality ordered them to leave a house into which they have been taking shelter until an official lease is struck to that end. The family said the house-owners live outside of the Syrian territories.
Dozens of Palestinian families fled Yarmouk Camp due to the tough blockade imposed by the Syrian government forces and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command and also as a result of ISIS capture of large areas of the camp on April 1, 2015. Dozens more have sought refuge outside of the camp following a deadly military offensive launched by the Syrian government on April 21.
