13-year-old Syrian girl gunned down by ISIS snipers while trying to flee terrorized refugee camp

A teenage girl was shot and killed by the ISIS snipers last week, April 7. Identified as Zeynab Daghastani, the 13-year-old refugee tried to escape the Yarmouk Camp in Damascus, which was held by the militants, to go to the ISIS-free nearby neighborhood, Yalda, according to an aid worker.

The aid worker claims she got the information from the Palestinian rebel group Aknaf Bait al-Maqdis, which is trying to recover Yarmouk from the terrorists, according to IB Times.

Since the area was captured and isolated by ISIS early April, thousands of Palestinian residents have tried to flee, but some have been unfortunately killed during the duration.

Within the week, about 200 were reportedly slaughtered, including children, who were murdered in front of their parents.

After the bombings instigated by the Bashar Al-Assad regime in Yarmouk back in 2012, about 160,000 Palestinians left the place, with the remaining around 18,000 residents trapped with no food, water and electricity supplies.

Before the United Nations workers arrived in the area, it was reported that a person in the area consumed only around 400 calories a day, just 25 percent of the recommended value. Their plight became even worse after the area was terrorized by ISIS, controlling about 70 percent of the camp.

In a report last week, a 16-year-old boy said he saw members of ISIS playing football with a severed head.

A 55-year-old man, who was able to flee, explained they were severely terrorized. He described children killed in front of their parents.
