1800 PALESTINIAN REFUGEES KILLED IN SYRIA: STATISTICS

       Damascus, 16 Safar 1435/19 December 2013 (MINA) – Activists in Syria said that three Palestinian refugees were killed in that war-torn country over the past 24 hours.

       The Action Group for Palestinians in Syria said in a statement on Wednesday that Syrian regular army continued to shell and attack Palestinian refugee camps, Palestinian Information center reported as quoted by Mi’raj News Agency (MINA).

       It said that the last casualties raised the number of Palestinians killed in Syria since the crisis started there to 1,807.

       The group said that two were killed in Yarmouk refugee camp and a third was killed under excruciating torture in Syrian security jails.

       It pointed out that Yarmouk camp came under violent shelling on Tuesday, adding that its inhabitants were reeling under a tight Syrian military siege for 156 days, which blocked the entry of foodstuff, medical supplies, heating, and other basic life necessities.

       The group warned of a humanitarian disaster in all Palestinian refugee camps in Syria as a result of the inhuman blockade that has been continuing for months.(T/P03)
