| [AnNahar] Syria's largest Paleostinian camp was once bustling with activity: It was crowded with mini-buses and packed with shops hawking falafel, shawarma and knafeh nabulsieh — a sweet concoction of cheese and phyllo dough. Kids played soccer and brandished plastic guns until men with real guns came in when Syria descended into civil war. Over the past decade, fighting devastated communities across the country, including the Yarmouk camp, on the outskirts of the capital of Damascus. Today, Yarmouk's streets are still piled with rubble. Scattered Paleostinian flags fly from mostly abandoned houses, the only reminder that this was once a major political and cultural center of the Paleostinian refugee diaspora. |
