Among the hardest hit by Assad’s starvation campaign is the Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp in the southern outskirts of Damascus, where at least 18,000 people remain trapped in hellish conditions. According to SOHR, at least 85 people have died from either starvation or preventable illnesses.

The death toll from starvation is up to 133 now according to the NGO "Action Group for Palestinians in Syria".
