The Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus became synonymous with the suffering of the Syrian people during the country’s civil war that began in 2011.
It was the de facto capital of the Palestinian refugee diaspora in the Middle East, hosting around 150,000 people. But it was destroyed in the conflict and saw a siege and brutal fighting between rebel fighters and government troops, as well as occupation by the Islamic State group.
Now, with the collapse of the Assad regime, people are returning home, including BBC Arabic’s Feras Killani, who grew up there with his family before they left the country in 2013.
