Stating that everyone in the camp is in need, Tamim said:<\/p>\n “There are approximately 3,500 needy families in the camp. As the humanitarian aid coordination team, we are ready to deliver the aid coming from T\u00fcrkiye and the Islamic world to the needy. We will do our best to bring hope to people\u2019s hearts and blessings to their tables.”<\/p>\n “We need every kind of aid”<\/strong><\/p>\n A camp resident, Ikram el Zammar, revealed that she was born and raised in Yarmouk. She expressed her deep fear during the civil war, particularly regarding her children’s safety. Zammar added, “Insha’Allah, the new government will help us and our children live in peace and security.”<\/p>\n Zammar shared that during the war, a bomb landed very close to her workplace, injuring her. “Now that Assad is gone, I don\u2019t want to discuss the past. I prefer to focus on the future with hope. Our children have become very experienced in war. Very young children have learned things they shouldn\u2019t have due to the hardships they faced. I want rehabilitation teams to come and help these children adapt to normal life,” she explained.<\/p>\n Zammar thanked the benefactors for the aid provided so far, saying, “We require all kinds of help from T\u00fcrkiye and elsewhere. We need support in education, health, and financial matters.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\t\t
