Some 2,564 Palestinian refugees have been killed in Syria as of the end of November, the Action Group for the Palestinians of Syria announced yesterday.

In a press release, the group documented the names of 336 female children and women killed during the ongoing war who make up seven per cent of the victims.

The press release noted that residents of the Yarmouk refugee camp are suffering from very difficult living conditions as it has been subjected to continuous water cuts lasting 85 days amid the strict blockade that has been imposed by the Syrian regime and the Popular Front groups on the camp for more than a year and a half.

The camp’s residents have been unable to secure a regular food supply, or fuel and electricity to heat their homes.

Palestinian refugees across Syria are suffering from harsh living conditions, the group said, and their camps have been directly affected by the intense military operations that have been carried out.
