The action group for Palestinians of Syria revealed that 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.
ISIS-affiliated Khaled Ibn al-Walid brigade held sway over Yarmouk Basin territories including Tseil Jileen Sahem and Tel al-Jomou’ following clashes rocking the area over the past ten days.
Most of those displaced from the area have sought refuge in Yarmouk River Basin while others fled to al-Muzeireeb Zizoun and Amouriya. Other families have been stranded in ISIS-led areas.
At the same time a number of Palestinian families have been taking cover at local schools and mosques after they had gone homeless.
Over recent months hundreds of displaced Palestinians have been sheltered in the Syrian-Libyan dairy farm near Jilin town having no other place to run to. Palestinians taking refuge in southern Syria have been enduring abject living conditions.
The situation has gone downhill due to the sharp decline in relief aids. Located some 25 kilometers way from northwestern Deraa city center Jileen Camp is home to 500 families who were displaced from northern Occupied Palestine back in 1948 while others came from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile Tseil town northwest of Deraa provides provisional housing to some 120 Palestinian families.
