U.N. Seeks Aid for Displaced Residents of Yarmouk 
--------------------------------------------------


 
The United Nations continues to issue warnings over Yarmouk, the
Palestinian refugee camp invaded by the self-proclaimed Islamic State in
Syria. The head of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, Pierre
Krähenbühl, said the United Nations is seeking to help civilians who
have managed to flee.

Pierre Krähenbühl: "Today we remain very worried for the refugees and
the civilians who are inside Yarmouk. We are very determined to provide
assistance to those who have decided temporarily to leave the camp
itself and to find shelter elsewhere, and we will take very seriously
the needs also in Yalda and Babila. We're very determined to be able to
respond to the needs of the people who have reached there."
