The BBC's Lyse Doucet has travelled to Yarmouk, the Palestinian refugee camp in southern Damascus, Syria, where people are desperate for food.

More than 20,000 have been living under a punishing siege there for nearly a year.
They have been unable to move because of endless fighting and their plight is increasingly desperate.
Residents gather daily, hoping to collect food parcels being given out by aid workers.
