Around 400 families left the camp on Friday and Saturday via two secure roads, says PLO official.
Around 2,000 people have been evacuated from the Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp in Damascus after the Islamic State (aka ISIS) group seized large parts of it.
“Around 400 families, approximately 2,000 people, were able to leave the camp on Friday and Saturday via two secure roads to the Zahira district, which is under army control," said Anwar Abdul Hadi, a PLO official.
"The evacuations are continuing on Sunday and some people are now in Yalda (a district under regime control) and waiting to be taken to shelters." Syrian state news agency SANA also reported the evacuations, saying they were carried out in coordination between the army and Palestinian factions and that the government had set up shelters for those fleeing. UNRWA confirmed that 94 civilians, including 43 women and 20 children, had escaped and been given humanitarian support. (Read More)
