Lesson Brief
BBC Arabic
On April 6, BBC Arabic reported that the UN Security Council is calling all warring factions to allow aid to enter the Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmouk in southern Damascus. The hotly contested area, which houses some 150,000 Palestinians, has been claimed by the Syrian regime and anti-regime forces. Currently it is under siege by reportedly allied Nusra and Daesh forces, prompting the exodus of hundreds of civilians still living in the battered camp.
