6 Palestinians killed in Syria refugee camp

BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Six Palestinians were killed at dawn on Tuesday in the Yarmouk refugee camp in Syria after a bomb exploded near the local hospital, a statement issued by local group said.

The blast near the Palestine Hospital in the refugee camp killed Ahmad al-Hasan, Fahed Abbas, Yassin al-Khaja, Abdul Rahman Saleh, Ali Qassem and Khatoun Lafi Ahmad, the Association for the Sake of Palestinians in Syria said.

The statement said the Husseiniyeh and Khan Danon refugee camps were being "showered with missiles," leaving residents without electricity, food and gas.

The group also said Syrian security forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad detained local Fatah leader Abu Nasser Qablawi in the Husseiniyeh camp for "helping the injured and taking them to nearby clinics," the statement read.
