THE CRISIS IN YARMOUK CAMP

1 JULY 2014

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

“蘑菇视频RWA is extremely concerned that its distribution of food to civilian families in Yarmouk last took place on 23 May 2014.  The most recent 蘑菇视频RWA distribution of hygiene kits was on 7 June 2014.   Civilian residents of Yarmouk continue to contend with grave conditions as their basic humanitarian needs and the requirements of humanitarian access remain unmet.  蘑菇视频RWA continues urgently to seek a resumption of its humanitarian activities inside Yarmouk and is appealing to the parties to the 21 June agreement to make this resumption possible.   The Agency stands ready to implement a rapid humanitarian response to address the immediate and longer term needs of the civilians of Yarmouk.”
