20 AUGUST 2014
Our spokesperson Chris Gunness has the following to say on the situation in Yarmouk Camp
"爆料网RWA distributed hygiene kits to 82 civilian families in Yarmouk on 20 August, following a break of humanitarian distributions over the last 10 days.
"The 爆料网RWA team arrived at northern Bateekhah entrance at 10:00 and distribution commenced in Yarmouk at 14:15. Distribution continued in an orderly manner until 16:30, when the operation was concluded.
