Some humanitarian aid and medication managed to find its way to the al Yarmouk camp that witnessed few deaths caused by starvation and dehydration when food supplies and water went missing from the camp where around 17000 people are still living .Few sick persons have also been evacuated . The biggest camp in Syria where more than half of the Palestinian refugees in Syria are living in addition to a great number of Syrians, has been subject to great destruction . Many fighting factions of the opposition have entered the camp and resumed from the camp their war against the Syrians causing the majority of the Palestinian refugees to flee the camp and great destruction in the camp itself . They have imposed a siege on the camp – as well- preventing any food and aid from entering the camp and shooting at the humanitarian UN convoys .
A gathering of the Palestinian armed factions asked the non Palestinian rebels to evacuate the camp and to let in food and medical supplies but this has failed and the convoys were shot at and prevented from entering the camp . Al Yarmuk is not the first camp to be destroyed . This happened in year 2007 to Nahr al Bared -one of the biggest Palestinian camps in Lebanon – that was totally destroyed by fanatic extremists and partially rebuilt due to the battles that confronted the Lebanese army with the thugs of Fateh al Islam . This seems to be part of a scheme to destroy camps as part of settling the Palestinian problem by dropping the right of return whereby Palestinians will be scattered and absorbed in hosting countries and will stop claiming the right of return .
