It was taken last month at the al-Yarmouk refugee camp, a Palestinian enclave in southern Damascus.
These people are waiting to receive food at the camp, just south of Damascus, on January 31, 2014.
These people are waiting to receive food aid distributed by the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) at the besieged camp. People have been trapped there for eight months by an army siege.

The resolution calls for the immediate lifting of sieges in specific towns and cities around the country, including Yarmouk.
