Al-Rukban camp | New families flee dire living conditions for regime-held areas with no guarantees

SOHR activists in besieged Al-Rukban camp by Iranian-backed militias, regime and Russian forces in the Syrian desert in the 55-kilometre zone at Syria’s eastern border with Iraq and Jordan, have reported that four families fled the dire living conditions in Al-rukban camp for regime-controlled areas today, although there are no guarantees to protect them from arrest by the regime’s security services, and they are as follows:

• Two families from Muhin city in Homs countryside.
• A family from Palmyra countryside.
• A family from Aleppo countryside.

The dire living conditions have led to turning the camp into a “large prison” that hosts 11,000 displaced persons in the Syrian desert.

Accordingly, the number of families which have left Al-Rukban camp since early July has reached 13 families, five young men and two children.
