DAMASCUS COUNTRYSIDE, (ST)-Hundreds of Syrian families, previously displaced from their houses as a result of the ongoing terrorism in Syria, returned home yesterday fleeing the clashes erupted between the Lebanese Army and terrorists of the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (ISIL) who recently attacked the Lebanese town and committed crimes there.
The Syrian families arrived on Sunday in Qadseyya neighborhood of Damascus countryside to stay in a temporary sheltering center which was equipped earlier for this purpose.
The Ministry of Social Affairs in cooperation with the governorate of Damascus Countryside was keen to move the displaced families from al-Masna area at the Syrian-Lebanese borders to the Qadsayya temporary sheltering center.
A team of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) in cooperation with Damascus Countryside Governorate, the Damascus Health Directorate as well as civil society associations were keen to get everything ready by the arrival of the families, including rooms, meals, blankets, mattresses as well as food, health and kitchen baskets in addition to other basic needs.
