Our spokesperson Chris Gunness has the following to say on the situation in Yarmouk Camp
"UNRWA was not authorized to distribute humanitarian assistance in Yarmouk on 14 September, following seven days of operations.
"UNRWA is deeply concerned that life-saving humanitarian operations continue to be frequently interrupted in Yarmouk. The humanitarian situation in Yarmouk remains desperate and UNRWA appeals to all parties to do everything in their power to end the suffering of the over 18,000 civilians trapped there. The Agency will continue to seek from all sides conditions that enable UNRWA to offer a full range of humanitarian assistance and services inside Yarmouk on an uninterrupted, substantial and safe basis."
