U.N. Seeks Aid for Displaced Residents of Yarmouk

HeadlineApr 13, 2015

The United Nations continues to issue warnings over Yarmouk, the Palestinian refugee camp invaded by the self-proclaimed Islamic State in Syria. The head of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, Pierre Krähenbühl, said the United Nations is seeking to help civilians who have managed to flee.

Pierre Krähenbühl: “Today we remain very worried for the refugees and the civilians who are inside Yarmouk. We are very determined to provide assistance to those who have decided temporarily to leave the camp itself and to find shelter elsewhere, and we will take very seriously the needs also in Yalda and Babila. We’re very determined to be able to respond to the needs of the people who have reached there.”
