Over 2,000 Palestinians have died in Syrian war

At least 2,072 Palestinians have died since the outbreak of the Syrian revolution to February 22, the Working Group for the Palestinians in Syria said.

The Safa news agency reported a statement released by the group on Sunday as saying that the majority of the victims fell in the Yarmouk refugee camp where 840 Palestinians perished. Deraa refugee camp saw the death of 163 Palestinians.

The group’s statement counted nearly twenty reasons for the causalities. Most were caused by bombings others by clashes, assassinations and the siege. The group’s statistics and information team said it will issue a detailed report on Palestinian victims in Syria by early March.

Meanwhile the Yarmouk refugee camp has witnessed a relative state of calm amid promises to increase reconciliation efforts and distribution of aid inside the camp.
