How Yarmouk refugee camp became the worst place in Syria

Palestinian refugees in Yarmouk, Damascus, queueing for food.

 Jonathan Steele's story includes a fair amount of unanswered disinformation about the Syrian opposition and their supporters: the SNC want Obama to bomb Damascus, the West oppose a truce in Yarmouk because they support the opposition's interim government, the Free Syrian Army is backed by western governments. But it should still be easy to see how appalling the endorsement of starvation as a war tactic by a PFLP-GC supporter of Assad is.

 “It was a mistake to break the siege. If we had continued by another week, hunger would have forced them to give up.”
