Hamas demands the departure of all armed terrorists from Al-Yarmouk refugee camp

The Hamas Movement asked all armed militants in the Palestinian refugee camp of Al-Yarmouk to leave it immediately in order to avoid further deterioration of the humanitarian situation.

“We urgently call on all armed men inside Al-Yarmouk camp to leave it in order to save the lives of 50,000 civilians, including women, children, and patients, in response to the intensive efforts being made to end the crisis of the camp,” Hamas stated in a press release on Wednesday.

Hamas also urged human rights groups, the UN, the Arab League and the organization of Islamic cooperation to shoulder their responsibilities, and move urgently to end the inhumane blockade on the camp and provide humanitarian aid to its residents.

The Movement stressed that the humanitarian disaster in Al-Yarmouk camp has exceeded all limits of human endurance and become an unprecedented tragedy.

It affirmed that its leadership has made concerted efforts and contacted all concerned parties in order to find an urgent way out saving the lives of the Palestinian refugees in the camp, noting its efforts in this regard are still ongoing.
