In Yarmouk, to get from one house to another, you walk through bombed-out holes in demolished cement walls. Mountains of rubble and mounds of trash dot the landscape, which locals climb over to get from one street to the next. To walk through this ghost town is to be haunted by spirits of the dead, as well as by packs of hungry, and sometimes rabid, dogs.
