Tens of Displaced Syrian Families Leave Rukban Camp

HOMS, (ST)-Tens of displaced Syrian families, who have been trapped for five years by American forces and their terrorist mercenaries in al-Rukban camp, left the camp on Sunday through Jleigim corridor in the Syrian badia and were taken to makeshift centers in Homs.

The US occupation forces, deployed in Syria’s al-Tanf area, and the affiliated terrorist groups have been treating thousands of civilians, staying in al-Rukban camp within very critical humanitarian circumstancesm as hostages.

SANA reporter said that several buses, provided by the Syrian government, transferred Sunday noon tens of families from al-Rukban camp through Jleigim corridor in the Syrian Badia (desert) to makeshift centers in Homs in preparation to transfer them to their original places of residence in areas liberated from terrorism by the Syrian Arab army.  

 According to the reporter, the returning people, most of them women and children, look tired with bad health conditions caused by the disastrous humanitarian situation in the camp and the absence of heath care and sharp food and water shortage, resulted from the unprecedented siege imposed by the US occupation forces and their terrorist tools who prevented the displaced citizens from leaving the camp and return to their original areas of residence.

Some of the returnees spoke to SANA reporter about the suffering they experienced in the camp and hailed the government’s facilitations to secure safe return for them.

“The terrorists have prevented us to leave the camp of humiliation and they used to threaten all who express desire to leave,” some of the returnees said, thanking all the parties which contributed to their safe return following years of terrorist siege.
