Yarmouk, once home to hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees and Syrian nationals, is one of several districts on the edge of the Syrian capital which the army has surrounded to choke off rebel forces seeking Assad's overthrow. &quot;The Syrian government has committed numerous war crimes as part of the siege of Yarmouk,&quot; Amnesty said in a report released on Monday.</p><br clear="all"/>
