The Palestinians of Yarmouk to Ynet: We need international intervention, Islamic State is beheading people

”To know what it is like in Yarmouk, turn off your electricity, water, heating, eat once a day, live in the dark, live by burning wood” – Anas, Yarmouk resident.

“Today I walked through the bombs and sniper fire to feed my children,”” “You have to understand, my neighbor went to get food for his children, was shot by a sniper and died. Today we buried him. That’s how it here: If you want to feed your children, you need to take your funeral shroud with you. There are snipers on every street, you are not safe anywhere. ”  from the camp

“Yarmouk was already a place where women had died in childbirth for lack of medicine, where children had reportedly died of malnutrition. So things were already appalling,” “Yarmouk was a hell hole frankly. And with the eruption of this intense fighting, things got dramatically worse.” Chris Gunnes of UNRWA, the United Nations’ agency for Palestinian refugees, told German news broadcaster Deutsche Welle.

“I eat anything that I can get my hands on. I eat on average one meal every 30 hours, ” one Yarmouk resident told Amnesty International

“My kids get up in the morning asking for a glass of milk or a piece of bread. I can only give them a radish or vegetables, and sometimes even this is not available,” one father told UNRWA earlier this year.

Amnesty’s report detailed the deteriorating conditions in the camp after Syria’s military began cracking down. By July 2013, the blockade was complete, and all people, goods and foods were barred from entering the camp.

The camp’s main source of water was destroyed in September 2014, forcing residents to choose from an array of bad options: They can depend on unreliable aid convoys, pump untreated groundwater from wells when fuel is available or, when fuel is lacking, dig holes in the streets to get water.

Now ISIS has the camp and is killing Sunnis.
