South of the Syrian capital, Damascus, gangs of women and children are looting abandoned houses and properties. Pro-government forces, security agencies and militias in the area have turned a blind eye to the robberies, Syrian opposition members reported.
In the summer of 2018, the Syrian regime regained control over areas south of Damascus which included the Yarmouk camp for Palestinian refugees, Al-Hajar Al-Aswad district and Al-Tadamon neighborhood.
