Third batch in 2022 | Three families leave Al-Rukban camp to regime-controlled areas

Reliable sources have told SOHR that three families from Homs province, including two from Bani Khalid tribe and one from Al-Naem tribe, left Al-Rukban camp in the 55-kilometre zone near the Syria-Jordan- Iraq border triangle this morning, heading to regime-controlled areas in Homs under no guarantees protecting them from being arrested by regime security services.

On January 6, reliable sources told SOHR that three families from Homs province left Al-Rukban camp in the 55-kilometre zone near the Syria-Jordan- Iraq border triangle, heading to regime-controlled areas in Homs under no guarantees protecting them from being arrested by regime security services.

On January 3, SOHR activists reported that two families from Al-Qariateen city in Homs countryside left Al-Rukban camp, heading to regime-controlled areas in Homs province.

It is worth noting that the phenomenon of leaving Al-Rukban camp has escalated recently due to the deteriorating living conditions in the camp, which suffers from difficult humanitarian conditions in light of humanitarian organisations’ indifference, high cost of living and lack of job opportunities in the camp, which has become a forgotten “big prison” in the Syrian desert, inhabited by 11,000 displaced Syrians family from all over Syria.
