The Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmouk, in the outskirts of the Syrian capital Damascus, has been suffering severe shortage of food, water, medicine, electricity and communications for around two years.
Recently, Syrian regime forces bombed hospitals and clinics in the camp and have been preventing the wounded from leaving the camp for urgent medical treatment.
Unnamed sources told Arab48.com that the PLO delegations that recently visited Damascus in a bid to solve the problems in the camp made no significant impact on living conditions. It did not even offer any aid to the refugees.
The sources reiterated that food aid is still banned from entering the camp, and when food is allowed, each family is only entitled to one food parcel, no matter how many people in the family. In addition, there is no water in the camp, they added.
