Around 2,000 people have fled the Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmouk in southern Damascus, following the advance of the Islamic State, a PLO official in Damascus said Sunday.
"Faced with the advance of Islamic State, 400 families, about 2,000 people, were able to leave the camp on Friday and Saturday, from two secure routes to the adjacent Zahira neighborhood, which is held by the Syrian army and where shelters have been erected," said Anwar Abdel Hadi.
