Yarmouk camp: Assad’s siege and starvation game

Share:

yarmouk campBy:Hisham Melhem

Yarmouk is a Syrian name which will live in infamy. For the past two years, this poor district a few miles away from the heart of Damascus has been subjected to a diabolical plan by the Assad regime that combines all medieval barbaric warfare tactics; including siege and starvation, and the use of modern destructive weapons a conventional army possesses such as heavy artillery, bombers and that brutal and efficient killer of civilians; barrel bombs.

Yarmouk, home for more than half a century to the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Syria, and later on, a permanent sprawling concrete neighborhood for many Syrians as well, lacks the allure of the ancient city of Homs, or the charm of the famed city of Aleppo, but shares with them the same fate of medieval siege and the Assad regime’s sickening version of the Hunger Games.

It shall be said, that in the 21st Century, in the environs of Damascus, Syria, the country that used to be part of the granary that fed the Roman Empire, people are dying of hunger, living on grass, and subsisting on cats and dogs – after receiving religious edicts allowing for that abomination- one hundred years after the great and partially man-made famine that swept Lebanon and parts of Syria during the First World War. Like that distant famine, which remained alive in our folklore, literature and collective memory, today’s brutal Hunger Games, are killing young men, destroying children and infants, physically brutalizing women and tearing apart the social, familial and cultural fabrics of society.

‘The deepest circle of hell’

Unlike the savagery of the past which remained hidden from the world for some time, the chamber of horrors that Syria has become in the last four years is there for all to see the horrendous physical destruction, smell the stench of death and hear the pleas for mercy. When Yarmouk fell into the rebel’s hands two years ago, the Assad regime responded with its terror campaign that forced tens of thousands of residents to flee, leaving behind 18000 civilians too weak, too old, too young and too destitute to leave, they were trapped with an assortment of Islamist rebels who in turn subjected the civilians to varying degrees of intimidation. It’s as if the world has abandoned not only the people of Yarmouk but the more than half a million Syrians trapped in besieged communities, and left them under the tender mercies of humanitarian organizations that are themselves susceptible to the dark machinations, deceptions and intimidation of the Assad regime.

The U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon tried to shame the world a couple of days ago by invoking Dante’s circles of the inferno, when he said ‘in the horror that is Syria, the Yarmouk refugee camp is the deepest circle of hell’. But there were no takers. Is it possible that the world has grown accustomed to the worst human tragedy in recent decades? The U.S. is still focused on an Iraq-first approach to fighting the Islamic State (ISIS) with Syria remaining an afterthought, and finalizing the ‘Parameters’ nuclear agreement with Iran is the chief political objective for the Obama Administration in the Middle East. The European Union has an abundance of sympathy with the people of Syria, but no one wants to make serious sustainable political choices in Syria. That leaves the Arab states, the source of all the disillusionment of the Syrians today. But unfortunately for the Syrian people, their civil wars are not the only ones raging in the Arab world today. From Libya on the Mediterranean to Yemen on the Indian Ocean, new victims are falling in the crazy fratricide, in a landscape strewn with shattered dreams and schemes.

Barbarians within and Barbarians without

The dire situation in Yarmouk became truly hellish recently when the ISIS fighters stormed Yarmouk and occupied most of it. Now the residents of Yarmouk have to endure Assad’s siege, which includes cutting-off of water supplies; and the wanton savagery of ISIS. One resident told the Guardian, “We are being killed here; Yarmouk camp is being annihilated.” He continued “the situation inside the camp is catastrophic … There is no food or electricity or water, Daesh [Arabic acronym for Isis] is killing and looting the camp, there are clashes, there is shelling. Everyone is shelling the camp. As soon as Daesh entered the camp they burned the Palestinian flag and beheaded civilians.” There are 3500 children caught in the crosshairs of the Barbarians without and the Barbarians within. The inferno could only get worse; the Assad regime cannot tolerate such a close area to the heart of Damascus to remain teaming with Jihadists, which means the siege will be tightened up. When the bombs fall, including the barrel bombs, one can seek a shelter, and when the invaders march in, one can take to flight. But where would a dehydrated, malnourished, and starving middle aged man or woman go?

Laying siege to cities and forts is as old as warfare itself. In the Middle Ages the building of moving siege engines was almost perfected .In modern times sieges are easier to carry out, one can cut-off water and electricity supplies with one switch. In Syria, the Assad regime used siege and starvation early on against Homs, where most of the city was isolated and starved for three years, and then the same tactics were used against the Damascus suburbs such as Moaddamiya, and later against parts of Aleppo. It was very unsettling that the United Nations kept refusing to distribute food and medicine in rebel held areas, insisting on the principle of getting the permission of the government of the country receiving it. Such complicity in Syria was devastating.

A history of brotherly violence

With the exception of the violent crackdown that Jordan initiated against armed Palestinian groups in September 1970, following a series of clashes caused by the reckless and provocative activities of radical leftist organizations resulting in the expulsion of all armed groups from the country, Syria under the Assad dynasty was the Arab state that used most violence against Palestinians in both Syria and Lebanon. Syria’s military intervention in Lebanon in 1976, in support of right wing Lebanese groups in their war against a leftist- nationalist coalition supported by the Palestinians let to the first massacre of Palestinians (armed and civilians) at the Tal al Zaatar camp (The hill of thyme) at the hand of armed Lebanese militias backed by Syria. Casualty figures vary between 1500 and 3000. Syria continued its campaign against Arafat’s forces until it succeeded in expelling him, through its proxies from Northern Lebanon in 1983. Bashar Assad continued his father’s legacy of using and abusing the Palestinians to serve his political goals all the while claiming that he is the champion of Palestinian rights. There is a trail of Palestinian blood caused by the Assad dynasty that stretches from Tal al Zaatar in 1976 to Yarmouk today.

Given that the Palestinian refugees in Syria are stateless, and cannot travel or seek asylum like refugees of other countries, the United States in collaboration with its allies in the United Nations Security Council should shame Russia to lean on Assad to at least evacuate the civilians out of Yarmouk. It is not too late for the U.S. to do the right thing morally and try to finally break that ‘deepest circle of hell’ in Syria.

        Seems like they want to be on their own … the ‘camp people’ didn’t like the idea of ANY coming in, – army (military), IS, other Militias – and as they like to police themselves, fight their own battles to keep others out. Down to 15,000 now, I’d guess.

          Palestinians went to defend refugees and fight ISIS in Yarmouk. Jumblat embraced Al Nusra, said to the Word they’re not terrorists, to save Syrian Druze he accepted they convert to ISIS Sunni Sharia. He has orders from Israel to reject Assad government and teach Golan Heights Druze do the same, no Assad, Israel keeps the Golan oil and gas security shares were sold to Murdoch and Rothschild in 2011. Jumblat is a joke.

      Seem the ‘siege mentalities’ exist in both places, Doron. Although there is allowance for food into Gaza, which is better than ASSad and the various gangs there allow.
      Saying any more on it at this point seems useless anyway … nothing really changes.

      1. there is food in Gazza and there is electricity and water. medicins as well.
        i don’t pretend to be running a perfect tolrant peacfull campaign as far as Gazza goes but nither do the palis.
        it’s a war and yet We do not behave towards arabs as arabs treat arabs. and this is my point.why do all the pali lovers speak so loud against Israel this summer yet are so quiet for the last 2 years about Yarmoch?
        how can somene be outrage at Israel for fighting against terrorists yet keep silent when Yarmoch people are reduced to eating cats to survive?
        War is a shithole and I’m not trying to make it pretty .all I do is ask arabs for a honest answer: Why is it ok for arabs to kill palistinians and when we fight terrorists it’s a “genocide”?

    3. You have to laugh. According to hind/whistleblower it was Isis starving them and dropping barrel bombs in them. Assad was sending them flowers and candy.
      You and I both know how deceptive and fraudulent hind/whistleblower is.

      Are you pretending to be concerned about the Palestinians in Yarmouk?

      Maybe you’re right. Maybe the response would be greater if the headline was “Israel’s siege and starvation game”. Why would that be the case? Maybe because Israel claims to be a modern democratic nation with rule of law. They claim to be one of the civilized nations, right? We expect atrocities from a dictator embroiled in a civil war, we expect atrocities from terrorist jihadis hell bent on establishing a caliphate, we don’t expect atrocities to be committed by a “modern civilized democracy” that abides by international laws.

      “fairytale nation”, funny joke. Yes, whats happening in Yarmouk was/is horrible. Infiltrated by jihadist who have held the Palestinians as human shields. Waging attacks from within, which leads to the indiscriminate bombing by ASSads forces. Remember not too long ago the terrorist wouldn’t allow anyone to leave the camp and were stealing supplies (if any actually made it in to the camp) for their own fighters.

      1. “Waging attacks from within, which leads to the indiscriminate bombing by ASSads forces.”

          Yep, ASSad is not attacking Yarmouk because he wants to kill as many Palestinian civilians as possible. He’s attacking it because your brothers in jihad are coordinating/launching attacks from within. Your brothers in jihad are stealing what little supplies are making it in. Your bothers in jihad are holding them as human shields. You’re smart babe, you know all of this. It is cute when you play the dumb bimbo character though.

            They are very different conflicts. 80%, really? You know that 95% of statistics are made up on the spot. One difference, is that Gaza isn’t a refugee camp in the middle of a foreign country. Yarmouk is an actual “city” within Syrian territory.

            He was trying to equate what ASSad is/was doing in Yarmouk to what the Israelis do in Gaza. The only similarity is that innocent civilians are getting caught in the middle of both conflicts.

            MekensehParty

            I agree that statistics aren’t accurate, but let’s agree that there is certainly a clear majority of gazans who are overtly supportive of ISIS and Qaeda. right?
            So same as Yarmouk in this case.
            What Assad is doing to Yarmouk is much worse than what happens in Gaza. Operations in Gaza last a month or two, Yarmouk has been under siege for 4 years non stop with the same if not worse daily atrocities as Gaza attacks.
            The Palestinians who died in Yarmouk (mysteriously we don’t have clear figures, maybe palestinians killed by Arabs don’t count) are far greater in numbers than all the Gaza wars…
            Both are “terrorists enclaves” but both numbers in deaths and time span of hostilities show that Assad is way ahead.
            This by no way should be considered as a defense of the Israeli attacks on Gaza, this is just facts comparing the two conflicts.

            lol sweetie…☻

            Wow sweetie… you need to take a chill pill…. you are activisting 24/7 so I just suggested you take up an alternate hobby, VIDEO-games.
            TRON is a game for novice players, it doesn’t take much skill so it would be perfect for you. Perhaps you could alleviate your paranoid delusions by google-ing ‘VIDEOgame TRON’.. it’s an old game too so the
            price-tag is very low….☻

            They’re not ‘my Iranians’.
            Playing volleyball with posts won’t change your violent ideology. Who do you think is listening or interested except your sectarian brothers, you persuade no one with your immoral vocabulary jealousy and mendacity.

          8. here is another article to hang on your wall of shame:

            http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/apr/12/refugees-yarmouk-israel-palestinians-arab-isis

            also- have a look at my response to man-o. it’s more aplicable to you anyways

      3. i’m not pretending anything man-o. of all the people commenting here i’m the least likly to be hypocrit. i just call things as I see them.
        for 3 days this article was on and no one commented here.i watched and was patiant. curious to know what the”arab Uma” has to say about this genocide and not one of you responded…as if Yarmuck fly under the radar of all of the invented people “supporters”. and not only now: where are all the condemations for Assad’s 2 years of starving palistinians?
        it brings me to conclud neither of you cares about the people, you all care about the land , what you want is another place to kick the palistinians to.
        what i’m saying is that if you are all put to shame by closing your eyes and that you all lost credibility in my eyes! standing by palis against Israel but forsaking them when arabs kill and eliminat them sorts of speaks for itself- it’s not the pali’s wellfare your worried about, pretending to care for them is just a tool and I for one will not let it lay.
        i’m not pretending to care for the invented people, I only say it’s time you guys stop acting as if you care, cause you obviously don’t.

          Doron …..
          Sometimes, people take a lunch-break. And probably some actually work for a living.
          Whatever …. that ‘camp’ obviously has been part of the Syria Destruction-Zone all along, and the only reason it hit the news items again was that ISIS came to whack at it too.
          Seeing there’s not much left there to steal, they already left. It was just the white-head on the boil, and it popped off. I’d assume there’s few buildings left in that whole country, and including into and through Iraq, that don’t have holes of some size in them if they are indeed still more than a foot high. And ASSad’s palace has at least some cement dust on it.
          Commenting about it has been done to death as well.
          People who care are depressed by the whole last 5 years of ‘dialogues’ which produce nothing … and as noted by Gemayel, our ‘exercise’ has been quite useless.
          Sometimes, it’s now a chore to work up the desire to SCREAM at the idiots, because they don’t listen, and are all going to kill themselves anyway. One thing for sure. It’s not going to be a ‘quikie’ patch-job for housing so 15 million can move back in.
          Probably should should have just nuked the whole Levant 4 years ago … we could be chatting about how to bake grasshopper pie …. but Damn Israel keeps getting in the way.

      Greetings my friend!! Hope all is well. I think most people care about what’s going on Syria. There is no honor in torturing and starving a group of people. This is a horrible situation but let me ask you a question…..what will become of Syria if Assad should fall?? I’m no Assad fan at all. He is a dictator just like his father but who would take his place?? I see a lot of people posting they can’t wait until Assad falls but what would happen if he did?? Do you or anyone else thinks Syria will thrive and everyone in the country would live in peace??

      1. instead of asking what if he falls, which sounds awfully like you would prefer him to stay in power (yes yes I know you barked that you believe he’s a dictator but I don’t believe a bark you barked), why do you suggest? Do you suggest he stays in power after what he has done to Syria AND Lebanon!??
        You see this is what makes you a disgusting piece of shite.

Sweetheart you’re nothing but a loser…..do the world a favor and go hang yourself but before you do….fuck yourself first. Oh by the way you should list your name as “Hermie” instead of “O”. Who the hell are you trying to kid with “O”. Now have a great day Hermie….don’t forget to repeat yourself with insults to Man – O, 5th, Hannibal and Anti.

And by the way I thought I told you to fuck yourself and then hang yourself. You’re an idiot, low life, self centered bitch. You were born a bitch and will die a bitch. Now I know you like it when everyone talks dirty to you so now you can choose to play with your dick or pussy. You dumb fuck Hermaphrodite.

          3. Wow so original. What else can be expected from a welfare whore. And seeing you are as thick as two planks, I will repeat it again. Hermaphrodite is copyrighted for hind. Now run along and collect your food stamps and while your there maybe all you welfare idiots can unite to come up with one original thought between all of you.

      3. Hello Virgo 🙂 I’m Ok thanks.hope you are good as well. we’re having our Independence day celebrations the coming weekend- all is ready for a long weekend of partying.
        I know you are not an Assad supporter and never suspected you of being one.
        my comment did not speak against Assad though. my comment was directed at everybody who takes upon him/herself the role of “keyboard fighting” Israel on behalf of the miserable palis and yet sits quietly when his/her chosen hero butchers the same people. to me it’s hypocracy and I hatre hypocracy.
        as for Syria’s future: I’m sad to say I see no future for Syria, I don’t see it as a state anymore.Assad keeps calling himself president but thats about where his influance ends,beyond that he is pretty much doing what he is told to do by the Iranians. the army is reduced to another militia and the fighting is HA IRGC & shia militias.Assad is nothing but a ghost like memory, a phantom that hoovers around as a reminder to what used to be.
        from the other side we have an assortment of militias who are busy fighting Iran’s minions and themselves- everybody vows to fight till the last man or till the enemy’s last man…no hope for Syria regarless of who wins. the winner will have a ruined famished country as a reward

        Do you have any idea how many refugees there have been in the 20th/21st century? These are the only ones who weren’t absorbed and rehabilitated, decades later and we are now talking about the 3rd generation. The only reason they are refugees now is because the Arab states won’t give them citizenship.

          I believe there was one point, Adam, where it was offered, and they refused it in Liban.
          Although, the Christian or Muslim stamp probably had to be in the passport…

          All true but still their home was taken away from them and everyone should go home. Stealing is not a virtue.

            Adam Yonatan Ben Yoel

            If this was any other identical situation, you wouldn’t be saying that. You’re only saying that because you don’t want them in Lebanon and because when Christians tried to take a back seat, they got hammered. Arabists ganged up on Israel in 1948 (also not a virtue) and tried to destroy it. The Arab Palestinians collaborated with the Nazis and then began attacking Jewish localities in Palestine (also not a virtue). Their leadership took a maximalist, rejectionist position that it wasn’t prepared to back up and so its society collapsed. The majority fled but some were expelled in the course of war. These things have happened elsewhere in the 20th century and I don’t see you or anyone else going on about it. The Arab world needs to take some responsibility, accept some blame and engage in some self criticism for the first time ever. We are also now talking about the 3rd generation so it’s not their homes. Even with the 1st, most of those places don’t exist anymore. And what exactly were the Arabs trying to do in 48 if not STEAL the land that Jews had paid for? This is also not a virtue. I’d like you to note that 100% of Jews were expelled from Arab conquered territory in 48 too. It is not possible for those people to move to Israel and now that they’ve lived in those conditions for so long and made that many children, allowing such a “return” would defeat the purpose of a two state solution. Effectively, supporting such a “return” is not changing the Palestinian Arab position since the beginning which is to oppose any partition and to oppose Israeli self determination, not to fight for their own. It is a position that opposes any resolution in future and supports indefinite conflict.

            So I’ll quote myself from another article ….
            ‘I consider that ‘People’ need to write their histories down. Certainly the Jews recorded individual stories. The North American Natives have now done it. Those who said ‘Never Again’ have done it and listed fallen names on walls. A guy named Barry Broadfoot wrote three books of memories of individuals – in their own words – of periods of human struggles in life. The humanity – the humour and sadness of it – is reflected in those records. The letters from a ‘front-line’ barely scratch the deeper and hidden experiences.
            Until EVERY story of reality is related, and given to those who will come after attempting to find a ‘correct’ theory to go forward with, then the truth of anything hides in the theories.
            It is not that there are not histories. It is, rather, that they are not presented.
            And also, not presented properly, when it is done to instil ‘fear’ rather than knowledge.’

            First off, Adam, it’s not God.

      2. “The reason why they are suffering is because they are without a home”

        Plenty of people all around the world are homeless but they aren’t suffering like they palis are in yarmouk and the reason is Assad’s siege and starvation game!

        They were “without a home ” prior to 2011 but they weren’t dying of starvation and having barrels full of love dropped on them. Stop your denial! It is disgusting.

          They are without a home
          While you live under a dome
          For fear of missiles made in qom
          You call Palestine home
          Living in fear like a gnome
          In that place where you roam

          1. Lol no comeback obviously. Haha

          2. their home is not here with us.
            you guys are doing the best you can to make your brothers feel outsiders even after 70 years and will continue to allianate them for a hundred more if it was up to you.
            bottom line is that there are no refugies from post WWII but the palistininans. everybody got citizenship of their respective runaway states.the only ones who don’t have a home are arabs who live in arab lands and forced deliberatly and artificialy to remain rightless.
            who is to blame that an arab can’t buy a house in lebanon? work ?
            not us bro..these problems are your creations, Imortlizing the refugie status.
            we have nothing to do with that anymore (unless the arab world suddenly wake up and compenstate all us ME jewish deported refugies of post WWII , there is nothing i would be willing to even think to negotiate on. (we come from everywhere: Iraq,Turkey,Morroco, Iran,Syria…all over the place)

          3. one more thing: we do not live in fear :)).
            we live prepearing for a war for 70 years and we accept that we do have neighbours to fight and very possible we’ll die for our land but we do not live in fear, we actually enjoy life very much.
            if you look for fear, you need to look closer to home.
