THE CRISIS IN YARMOUK CAMP

24 JÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµE 2014

Our spokesperson Chris Gunness has the following to say on the situation in Yarmouk Camp

"There were no Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA operations inside Yarmouk on 24th June. Following reports of a 21 June agreement between Syrian authorities and armed opposition groups inside Yarmouk, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA is urgently seeking the resumption and expansion of its humanitarian activities inside Yarmouk, where humanitarian conditions remain dire.  Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA stands ready to implement a rapid humanitarian response so that the immediate and longer term needs of Yarmouk’s civilian population can be met.

"Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA will continue to advocate for continuous, substantial and safe humanitarian access to Yarmouk, and to ensure the protection of Palestinian and Syrian civilians."
