Imminent breakthrough in Yarmouk camp crisis

A crisis management cell will be formed to ensure the basic needs of the Palestinian refugees to return to Yarmouk camp after the deal reached between the Syrian State, the UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffande Mistura’s Office and some armed groups in the southern suburbs of Damascus.

This is what the Palestinian Liberation Organization delegation’s head Ahmad Majdalani said Thursday following his meeting with social Affairs Minister Rim al-Qadri.

He clarified that the cell will define the basic needs of the Palestinian refugees, repair infrastructures and evaluate the damages resulted from terror attacks in order to start reconstruction process in Yarmouk camp.

On her part, the Minister of Social Affairs asserted the Syrian government’s keenness on offering all possible facilities to provide persons inside the Palestinian camps with humanitarian aid and food and to alleviate their suffering.

Repeatedly, the terrorist organizations inside the camp prevented the besieged persons in the camp from receiving humanitarian aid by targeting convoys or attacking the persons.

From January 30 till September 1st, 46.485 food parcels were distributed in Yarmouk camp by the Arab Palestinian Refugees General Commission and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) under supervision of the Syrian government, according to the Commission’s director Ali Mustafa.
