[Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News] 48 Palestinians in Syria have starved to death so far

From Al Arabiya:

Starvation victim in Syria

Severe hunger in a besieged refugee camp for Palestinians in southern Damascus has claimed two lives, raising the death toll to 48 people killed, an opposition Syrian group said Saturday in a statement.

The Syrian Revolution General Commission (SRGC), a coalition of 40 opposition groups, said Yarmouk camp has depleted its food supplies and medical materials after 180 days of it being encircled by President Bashar al-Assad's forces.

SRGC accused the Syrian regime for not allowing humanitarian aid to enter the besieged camp, which is home to an estimated 20,000 Palestinians.

Palestinian activists and journalists in reaction launched a nationwide campaign to pressure their government to help the starving refugees.

Hear that sound?

It is the sound of "pro-Palestinian" activists, pundits, politicians and NGOs not caring.

It is the sound of flotillas not being organized, petitions not being written, and demonstrations not being organized by Westerners who pretend to care so much about Palestinian Arab human rights.

It is the sound of articles not being written in the Guardian, the BBC or the New York Times.
