(Zaman Al Wasl)- Free Syrian Army fighters joined Nusra Front in fight against Islamic State in Yarmouk refugee camp southern Damascus, local reporter said Saturday as clashes enter second week.
Three Isis fighters were killed in Saturday's claches with Nusra Front, reporter said.
In their turn, FSA fighters said they entered Yarmouk to save civilains from Isis as well to hback Nusra Front against Isis.
U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) which aids Palestinian refugees across the region said it estimated up to 10,000 civilians were trapped in their homes in Yarmouk, which is on the southern outskirts of Damascus.
"Whatever supplies of food and water they had have long been exhausted. Given the frequently intense fighting, the overwhelming risk of serious injury and death prevents civilians from leaving their homes to search for food, fetch water, or seek medical treatment for injuries," UNRWA said in a statement.
UNRWA said: "The fighting has been intense, and is taking place in the most densely populated areas of Yarmouk camp, with the use of heavy weapons, explosive devices and weapons of indiscriminate effect." (With Reuters)
