Secretary of the Coalition of Palestinian Factions in Syria, Khaled Abdul Majeed, said no specific date has been set for the return of displaced families to Yarmouk Camp, adding that contacts have been underway with the Syrian authorities so as to dispatch a committee of experts to inspect the damage wrought on civilian buildings and press ahead with reconstruction.
Abdul Majid said a round of meetings has been held between Palestinian factions and Syrian authorities to discuss the most efficient ways to remove debris and smooth civilians’ access to their homes.
Clearance of debris and reconstruction of the Shuhadaa Cemetery have also been underway. At the same time, additional funds have been allotted by the Palestinian National Fund to further remove rubble from Yarmouk, added Abdul Majid.
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 have been either totally or partially destroyed in the warfare. 90% of homes have been subjected to burglary and looting.
