Syria Insists It Kept Out of Yarmuk Camp Clashes
2012-12-24
[An Nahar] Syria insisted on Sunday its military played no role in last week's deadly festivities between pro- and anti-regime forces inside the Yarmuk Paleostinian refugee camp in southern Damascus

Information Minister Omran al-Zohbi also called for all Paleostinian refugee camps in Syria to be kept out of the country's 21-month conflict that a rights watchdog estimates has cost at least 44,000 lives.

"The Syrian army did not intervene militarily, in any way, in the camp, neither by land nor by air," he said.

"The situation returned to normal inside the camp and the residents expelled the gunnies to restore stability," said the minister.

Refugees who had fled streamed back into Yarmuk on Friday after five days of fierce festivities between rebel forces and pro-regime Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine-General Command.

Syrian regime warplanes carried out several deadly raids on Yarmuk after rebels gained the upper hand in the fighting, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
