[29 Jan 2014] In Syria, Palestinian refugees at the Yarmouk camp are facing starvation - English
In Syria, Palestinian refugees at the Yarmouk camp on the outskirts of the capital Damascus are faced with starvation. Reports from the camp say people have started hunting cats, dogs and donkeys. This is while foreign-backed insurgents are still holed up inside, and government forces keep fighting to force them out. Reports say seventy-eight people, including 25 women and three children, have died as a result of food shortage there. Syria has been gripped by a foreign-backed insurgency for nearly three years now.
