Abbas asks UN to allow Palestinians from Syria into W. Bank

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday called on the UN to intervene to allow thousands of Palestinians from Syria to enter the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
Abbas’s appeal came after thousands of Palestinians from the Yarmouk refugee camp near Damascus fled in recent days to Lebanon because of the fighting between the Syrian army and rebel forces.
Earlier this week, dozens of Palestinians were killed when Syrian jets fired rockets at the camp.
