Some Western countries are highly sensitive when it comes to
human rights; many Western countries react very harshly when human
rights and freedoms are restricted anywhere. Yet we see no noticeable
efforts on their part when it comes to Yarmouk, which is in a far worse
plight.

there is a threat to the environment, that employs all the means at its

lous when it comes to maintaining green spaces display an exemplary
act of conscience. It is expected from them to behave far more sensi-
tively when it comes to human life.
