The UN Relief and Works Agency sent along this first picture of escapees from Yarmouk since ISIS entered the refugee camp on the outskirts of Damascus. UNRWA reports
“6-week old Mohammed is the youngest civilian to have fled Yarmouk since ISIS entered. He was taken to Tadamon [in Damascus] by his mother on 4th April 2015. UNRWA provided him and his mother with a baby kit and other essential items such as mattresses and blankets.”
Ouch.
FROM CHICKENSH�T PBS:“They [the residents of Yarmouk] are Palestinian refugees who came here to escape their own conflicts*, only to find themselves in the middle of someone else’s, and at what a price. . .” ~ Paul Davies on PBS NewsHour, April 7, 2015
MY COMMENT: So, according to PBS, the Palestinian refugees at some time in the past went to the Yarmouk refugee camp in Syria “to escape their own conflicts”. Interesting!
It would helpful to know a bit more about how these Palestinians became refugees, but PBS dare not broach that subject because it would reflect poorly upon Israel and that might hurt PBS’ fundraising!
