Armed groups of the Syrian opposition in the town of Yalda in Damascus suburb demanded the residents Yarmouk to evacuate the camp within a maximum of 48 hours. Meanwhile, Facebook pages shared pictures of a banner hung on Yalda checkpoint "Please residents of the Yarmouk refugee camp evacuate the camp Today or tomorrow; all roads will be completely closed and will prevent the entry and exit until further notice, due to security reasons.”
In the same context, hundreds of Yarmouk residents organized a sit-in yesterday entitled as" Here we are staying in the Yarmouk refugee camp" in front of the headquarters of UNRWA in the Yarmouk refugee camp. The sit- in came after the invitation launched by NGOs in the camp, and an expression of their rejection of the calls, which were hanged on the checkpoint of Yalda, that calls people of the Yarmouk refugee camp to leave and flee in two days. Protesters demanded International rand relief authorities to enter and distribute aid inside the besieged camp and not in neighboring towns.
In terms of living conditions, the residents of Yarmouk camp are still suffering of dire living conditions and lack of the necessities of life because of the continued siege imposed on the camp since 15th of July 2013; as well as ISIS breaking into the camp since 1st of April 2015.
