Hundreds of Palestinians line up for food rations in the Yarmouk camp in the Syrian capital of Damascus. The photo was taken on January 31, but was just released by the UNRWA on Wednesday. Aid organizations have long been demanding that the Syrian regime of President Bashar al-Assad allow them to distribute food and medicine on a more regular basis.
