The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has denounced a missile
attack on one of its hospitals in Syria’s Yarmouk refugee camp, where
several members of its voluntary staff were killed.
In a press release on Monday, the society censured the targeting of
its medical staff during the ongoing conflict in Yarmouk, which killed
seven staff members, including senior Hamas leader Yehya Horani late in
March, and wounded dozens of others since the start of the conflict, the
Palestinian news agency, Wafa, reported.
Horani was killed in the Palestinian hospital in Yarmouk refugee camp
while carrying out his humanitarian duty. He was active in relief and
humanitarian work and training hundreds of paramedics and nurses.
The PRCS further urged all sides of the conflict to ensure the
protection of civilians, fulfill their responsibilities and take all
necessary measures to ensure safe access of the victims to medical
treatment.
Following attacks by Takfiri terrorists who are now in control of
parts of the Palestinian refugee camp near Damascus, hundreds of
families were evacuated.
ISIL militants were in control of the camp until 2014, when a deal
with the Syrian government saw the group withdraw. The Syrian army has
since then besieged the camp as it has turned into a major bastion for
spreading anti-government militancy.
The UN Security Council on Monday called for humanitarian aid access
to the civilians caught in the Yarmouk camp amid clashes between
Palestinian armed factions and the ISIL terror group.
The 15-member council urged protection for thousands of refugees in
the camp, which was stormed by the ISIL on April 1. The militants
apparently launched the attack in tandem with rivals from the
al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front.
