El #hambre sigue produciendo muertos en el campo de refugiados de Yarmouk en Siria,. Dheisheh, Occupied Palestinian Territories - Ahmed Odeh was watching a YouTube video about the abysmal conditions in the Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmouk, near Syria’s war-torn capital Damascus. A small girl in the video was crying and shouting, “I’m hungry, I’m hungry.” After watching the video, “I had the idea to make a campaign to help these people,” said Odeh. So he gathered a group of his Palestinian friends from the Dheisheh refugee camp in Bethlehem, where he lives, and they made a plan. The group decided to start an effort called “Life Line” to collect aid for Palestinian refugees in Yarmouk, which – like many areas in Syria – is surrounded by fighting between forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and rebel factions trying to overthrow him. The Syrian civil war has now raged for nearly three years with 130,000 killed and no end in sight.
