"Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA has received credible information about an agreement signed between Syrian authorities and armed opposition groups inside Yarmouk. We would welcome any durable and binding agreement that achieves a cessation of hostilities, full humanitarian access and an end to the suffering of civilian in Yarmouk and all of Syria.

"In particular, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA is urgently seeking the immediate resumption and expansion of its humanitarian activities inside Yarmouk to enable it to offer a full range of humanitarian supplies, services and programmes to the civilians of Yarmouk. 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."
