More aid packages distributed to displaced families of Yarmouk Camp on Tuesday

Damascus, SANA – Supported by the Syrian government and supervised by the Higher Relief Committee, the General Authority for Palestinian Arab Refugees (GAPAR) and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) distributed more humanitarian aid to the people of Yarmouk Camp neighborhood, located in southern Damascus.

In a statement to SANA, GAPAR Director General Ali Mustafa said that in coordination with the governorates of Damascus and Damascus Countryside, 1200 food packages and 1200 health packages were distributed on Tuesday to the displaced families of Yarmouk Camp who fled their neighborhood due to the criminal acts of the terrorist organizations, mainly ISIS.

Medical services and medicines were also provided to needy persons, Mustafa added.

He pointed out that aid delivery and distribution will continue to the displaced families of Yarmouk Camp who are currently residing in the nearby towns of Yalda, Babila and Beit Sahm in Damascus countryside towns, saying that since January 2014, around 140,582 food packages and 46,180 health packages have been distributed to beneficiaries.

In early April, 2015, Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist organization facilitated the infiltration of hundreds of ISIS terrorists into Yarmouk camp to undermine efforts of the Syrian government to keep the Palestinian refugees away from getting involved in the current events in the country and committed crimes against the citizens and bombed their houses to force them to flee the
Camp.
