A Palestinian source confirmed on Tuesday that armed militia has stormed the Yarmouk camp for Palestinian refugees and that they are in full control of it.
Anwar Raja, spokesman of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestinian General Command (PFLP-GC), told Xinhua that the armed militia, including the al-Qaida-linked al-Nusra Front, have entered the camp like “Berber Tatars and Mongols,” adding that they have carried out looting and burglaries in homes and shops.
He also denied the government army’s presence around the camp despite Western media reports that said army tanks are closing in on the camp.
