These are the horrifying scenes as refugees stretch as far as the eye can see amid ruined buildings as they queue for food in Damascus, Syria.


The almost apocalyptic photograph shows Palestinian refugees from the Yarmouk camp, which is besieged by the warring factions in the country, waiting for food and medicine.

The United Nations wants aid workers to be given unrestricted access to continue the distribution of supplies.

Filippo Grandi, commissioner general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), said the devastation in the region was ‘unbelievable’.

‘There is not one single building that I have seen that is not an empty shell by now,’ he said, speaking from Beirut, Lebanon.

He added of the refugees: ‘It’s like the appearance of ghosts.’

More than 2million people are understood to have fled Syria during its three-year civil war, with more than 9million in total needing humanitarian assistance.
