LONDON, (PIC)-- The action group for the Palestinians in Syria strongly denounced head of the popular front-general command (PFLP-GC) Hosam Arafat in the West Bank for minimizing the tragedy of Al-Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus, which led 40 Palestinians to starve to death.

Coordinator of the action group Tareq Hamoud told Quds Press that Arafat's claim that a few number of Palestinians were affected by the blockade on Al-Yarmouk camp was an implicit confession of the GC's direct responsibility for the siege imposed on Al-Yarmouk refugees.

Hamoud stated that such an attempt to play down the number of the victims or the affected people reflects that the leadership of the GC has no moral, humanitarian or national feelings.

He held the Syrian regime and the leadership of the PFLP-GC fully responsible for the inhumane blockade imposed on Al-Yarmouk refugees.

In a related incident, dozens of Palestinian protestors were able to rally outside the headquarters of the Palestinian Authority (PA) in Ramallah to demand it to take action ending the blockade on Al-Yarmouk camp.

The protestors chanted slogans against the parties that are besieging the camp and slammed the Palestine liberation origination (PLO) and the PA for not moving to save Al-Yarmouk Palestinians.
