UNRWA Commissioner-General Pierre Krähenbühl visited Syria in
coordination with the Office of the UN Secretary-General. The visit is
prompted by UNRWA's deepening concerns for the safety and protection of
some 18,000 Palestinian and Syrian civilians, including 3,500 children
and as civilian lives continue to be threatened by the effects of the
armed conflict in the area.

Pierre Krähenbühl met with civilians
who were temporarily displaced last week by the recent escalation in
Yarmouk camp. He visited a government school in Tadamon, a neighbourhood
on the eastern border of the camp. The school is serving as temporary
accommodation for those displaced from Yarmouk.
