At least 25 people have reportedly been killed in the latest Syrian government bombing of a Palestinian refugee camp in Damascus. The attack on the district of Yarmouk comes amidst fears the Syrian military is preparing a full-on ground assault to displace rebels from their positions. During a visit to neighboring Lebanon, U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres warned the conflict in Syria is likely to get worse.

António Guterres: “It is high time for the international community to understand that this is not a conflict like many others. We are witnessing brutal fighting with tragic humanitarian consequences. And things are evolving in a way that make us foresee the possibility of 2013 being much more dramatic than 2012.”
