Palestinians returning to #Yarmouk
Built to host Palestinian refugees in 1957, Yarmouk grew into a bustling suburb of some 1.2 million people, including 160,000 people from Palestine.
After Syria’s war broke in 2011, the al-Assad regime bombed the suburb heavily, targeting fighters there. The camp was all but abandoned, and the number of Palestinian refugees in the ares now stands at 8,160, according to the AP.
