The Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmuk shows the extent of violence during Syria’s 13-year civil war

The former Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmuk, on the outskirts of Damascus, offers a glimpse of how brutal the Syrian civil war has been for the civilian population. Home to more than 150,000 people, Yarmouk was completely destroyed during the early years of the war. Now, many people are returning to try to rebuild their destroyed homes.
