Damascus, Apr 8, (RHC), – A PLO delegation met with Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad in Damascus on Tuesday to discuss preventing the Islamic State terror group from maintaining control of the Yarmouk refugee camp, where thousands of Palestinians live.
The diplomatic mission, sent by Mahmoud Abbas, included senior PLO official, Anwar Abdel Hadi, who is responsible for the organization's affairs in Syria. At least 2,000 people have fled the camp on the outskirts of Damascus, but thousands more remain.
