Four Palestinian refugees were killed Sunday in Syria due to the continued shelling and siege on Palestinian refugee camps, Palestinian sources said.

Action Group for Palestinian Refugees in Syria said in a statement on Monday that Khaled Abdel Halim, from Yarmouk refugee camp, was killed during bomb raids on Aleppo, while Yamen Hareb and Fadi Abwyne were killed during clashes in Aleppo's Central prison.

On the other hand, Ahmad Khan, from Yarmouk refugee camp, had starved to death due to the continued siege imposed on the camp for 211 consecutive days.

The Action Group pointed out that Daraa refugee camp has been subjected to continued shelling for three days in a row, while Khan Shikh refugee camp has been subjected to barrel-bomb attacks.

It also said that Syrian security forces stormed A'adin refugee camp in Homs and carried out raid and search operations looking for gunmen.
