\HOW YARMOUK REFUGEE CAMP BECAME THE WORST PLACE IN SYRIA\
2015
Overview
In excerpts from an article published in The Guardian on Mar 5, 2015, Steele examines the history of Yarmouk refugee camp from the beginning of the Syrian conflict in 2011. Despite encountering resistance from Aknaf Bayt al-Maqdis and other Palestinian factions, by Apr 4, ISIS was in control of 90% of the camp. Trapped inside were 18,000 Palestinian refugees without access to food or other necessities, prompting UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to describe Yarmouk as 'the deepest circle of hell.' After the launch of a major military assault on Apr 9, ISIS fighters were eventually driven out of the camp. While Yarmouk had returned to relative calm by the end of the quarter, living conditions in the camp remained desperate and it was estimated that more than half of the remaining population had fled, leaving behind some 7,000 people. Adapted from the source document.
