The Syrian Network for Human Rights calls on the international community to save the lives of 20,000 people trapped inside the Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus, and to move swiftly to force the Assad regime to comply with the UN Security Council Resolution No. 2139, or to take deterrent measures against it. The Network said that the Assad regime has cut off water from the Yarmouk refugee camp and some neighborhoods of Damascus since September 9th 2014. Civilians resorted to pump water from artesian wells, risking being infected with several disease. Moreover civilians take more risks to secure water by resorting to the areas on the periphery of the camp, make them vulnerable to the regime’s snipers. It is worth mentioning that the Assad regime has already cut off water from the neighborhood Al Hajar al-Aswad, and the Network has sent a distress call to react to this crime.
