A. whereas IS/Da’esh attacked the Palestinian refugee camp in Yarmouk on 1 April 2015; whereas the Assad regime continued the shelling and aerial bombardment of the camp in response to the IS attack and intensive street battles between anti-Assad armed opposition groups, Aknaf Bait al-Makdis on the one hand and IS/Da’esh and Jabhat al-Nusra on the other occurred throughout the camp; whereas on 16 April 2015 Palestinian military units, with the assistance of Syrian rebels, forced IS/Da’esh fighters to retreat from the camp; whereas IS/Da’esh’s withdrawal leaves al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra largely in control of the camp;

G. whereas a large part of the over half a million registered Palestinian refugees in Syria have been made refugees for a second time as they have had to flee refugee camps and towns in Syria as a result of military groups moving in and occupying the camps and violating the neutrality of the refugees; whereas many thousands have fled to Lebanon; whereas as a result of the presence of the armed groups and the consequent siege by government forces, an estimated 18 000 remain trapped in the unofficial camp of Yarmouk in the suburbs of Damascus and an estimated 4 000 in the camp of Sbeineh to the south of Damascus; whereas despite the lim ...[+++]ited delivery of humanitarian aid in recent days, the situation of the long-besieged is dire as people – mainly women, children and the elderly – reach starvation levels, with no humanitarian aid and no medical attention;

L. whereas Palestinian refugees remain a particularly vulnerable group in the crisis in Syria; whereas almost all of the 540 000 Palestinian refugees in Syria are in need of emergency assistance, while more than half of them have been displaced again within the country; whereas Palestinian refugees, who have no Syrian citizenship, do not have the same rights as Syrian refugees and are, in the vast majority of cases, unable to leave the country; whereas the situation of the 18 000 Palestinian refugees trapped in extremely difficult conditions in the Yarmouk refugee camp, which has been under siege since July 2013, is particularly alarm ...[+++]ing; whereas UNRWA and other international aid organisations have been denied access to deliver essential supplies to civilians in Yarmouk for months; whereas this collective punishment of the population is having a devastating effect, with mass suffering; whereas, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, more than 50 people have died in the camp since September 2013 from hunger or lack of medical care; whereas the limited number of food parcels that were allowed into the camp by the Syrian authorities, in the run-up to the Geneva II Conference, were far from enough to meet people’s needs; whereas, in her statement of 17 January 2014, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said, in this context, that ‘impeding humanitarian assistance to civilians in desperate need may amount to a war crime’;

T. whereas according to international organisations, women and girls in refugee camps are the victims of increasing sexual violence, with rape being used as a weapon of war; whereas there are no viable medical options for Syrian refugees who are survivors of sexual violence; whereas a disproportionate number of young girls and women in the refugee camps are getting married; whereas, according to several sources, temporary Mutah ‘marriages of pleasure’ with Syrian refugees are taking place in refugee camps;

H. whereas the host countries have maintained an open-border policy throughout the armed conflict, but have opted for different hosting methods; whereas their ability and capacity to absorb and shelter the increasing stream of refugees is being stretched to the limit as ‘incidents’ tend to happen regularly along the border lines; whereas Lebanon has gone for a ’no camp’ policy and has largely absorbed the refugees into local communities; whereas approximately three quarters of the Syrian refugees in neighbouring countries are living outside camps in urban settings; whereas approximately 350 000 Syrians are staying in 23 refugee camps in Turkey, Jordan ...[+++]and Iraq;
