Food aid has entered the besieged Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp in Syria for the first time in four months, a Palestinian official and Syrian state media said on Saturday.
The delivery of food comes after reports that dozens of people in the southern Damascus camp have died of hunger and lack of medical care, and a UN warning that blocking aid may amount to a war crime.
"A first batch of food aid entered successfully this morning and distribution to residents has begun," Palestine Liberation Organisation official Anwar Abdul Hadi told AFP.
