Damascus – Action Group
Over the past few hours, Yarmouk camp, south of Damascus, witnessed a heavy deployment of public security forces in several main streets and neighborhoods. This move came after repeated demands from residents to strengthen the security presence within the camp.
According to a correspondent for the Action Group, the security patrols were concentrated in several locations within the camp, amid a sense of relief among residents who expressed hope that these measures would help reduce the escalating security problems.
In recent days, residents of the camp had issued appeals calling for increased security patrols, citing a rise in theft and the spread of other alarming phenomena, as well as growing concerns about drug use and other illegal activities in certain areas.
Observers believe the recent security measures aim to stabilize the security situation within the camp and enhance overall stability, given the ongoing service and social challenges facing Yarmouk residents after years of destruction and displacement.
