On 13 Apr 15, in Saida, dozens of Palestinians who fled the embattled camp of Yarmouk demonstrated in front of UNRWA offices in solidarity with their friends and family trapped between warring sides. The protesters handed a letter to UNRWA’s chief Ibrahim Khatib, urging food aid to reach Yarmouk’s remaining 18000 refugees, now caught in the crossfire between the jihadists, rival rebels, and government forces.
