Dozens of Palestinian families displaced from Jilin in southern Syria have been enduring dire conditions due to the simmering hostilities between ISIS mobs and the opposition squads a NGO reported Monday.
According to a Monday report by the London-based Action Group for Palestinians of Syria (AGPS) Jilin residents have run out of much-needed food items and medicines due to the tough cordon enforced on the area.
Last week dozens of Palestinian and Syrian families sheltered in Yarmouk Basin in Deraa’s western outskirts fled the area for fear of being killed in the simmering hostilities between ISIS militias and the opposition outfits.
Most of those displaced from the area have sought refuge in Yarmouk River while others headed to al-Muzeireeb Zizoun and Amouriya after they fled ISIS-led zones.
Located 25 kilometers away from northwestern Deraa city center Jilin is home to 500 families mostly displaced from Palestinian territories occupied in 1948. A number of other families are from the occupied West Bank and the blockaded Gaza Strip. Tseil town northwest of Deraa provides provisional refuge to some 120 Palestinian families.
Meanwhile Yarmouk refugee camp and al-Tadhamun area were struck with artillery shells on Saturday. The onslaught targeted Haifa Safouriya and Loubiya neighborhoods.
