Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus became synonymous with the suffering of the Syrian people during the country’s civil war, which began in 2011.

It was the de facto capital of the Palestinian refugee diaspora in the Middle East, housing around 150,000 people. But it was destroyed in the conflict, enduring a siege and brutal fighting between rebel fighters and government forces, then occupation by the Islamic State group.

Now, after the collapse of the Assad regime, people have begun returning home, including BBC Arabic’s Feras Killani, who grew up there with his family, before they left in 2013.
