The displacement of about 9500 civilians and fighters to the Syrian north raises their number to about 131000 in the last 4 months
The Syrian south lives different events, in which both scenes are different and their destinations also differ because of the agreements of the “settlement and reconciliation”, which split the one scenes into two, where one of both scenes is based on the return of displaced people to their villages and towns; many of which were looted by the regime forces and militiamen loyal to them, and the other scene is the displacement from the south of the country to its north, and with the arrival of the 3rd convoy coming out of Daraa Province on Tuesday morning, the 24th of July 2018, have raised to at least 9430 people including about 3300 fighters of the rebel and Islamic factions and about 4800 children and women, the number of people who have been displaced in 6 successive batches, including 3 from Daraa province, where the batches came out of Daraa city, Mahjeh town, Nawa city, and from Bosra al-Sham area in Daraa province, while the other section was displaced from the countryside of al-Quneitra province and all convoys arrived in the Syrian north.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights published earlier that the 2 convoys of Daraa and Quneitra have departed towards their destinations in the Syrian north, after being held for several hours by the al-Rida militia and other members of the gunmen loyal to the regime of Syrian and non-Syrian nationalities, who surrounded Daraa and Quneitra convoys which are carrying about 3400 people on board at outskirts of Homs city central Syria; while both convoys were heading towards the Syrian north according to the displacement agreement that took place in the area, and the Syrian Observatory learned from reliable sources that the reasons for the detention were attempts by these militias to pressure parties of the agreement to uncover the fate of the remaining abductees of the town of Ishtabraq, in addition to revealing the fate of tens of missing persons in al-Rashedin bombing that took place in April 2017, which caused a massacre of demographic change in which about 130 people were killed –mostly from the displaced people of al-Fu’ah and Kafriya towns– including more than 80 children and women, and tens of others were injured with varying severity, and also tens of other went missing, after they were targeted by a booby-trapped vehicle in al-Rashedin area while they were waiting to move towards areas controlled by the regime forces in Aleppo.
And the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored the number of people who came out of each area, where the total number of people who got out of their areas to the Syrian north reached about 130639 displaced people from Daraa province, Al-Quneitra province, the Eastern Ghouta, south Damascus, south Rif Dimashq, Eastern Qalamoun, northern countryside of Homs and southern countryside of Hama. The number of displaced people of the Eastern Ghouta reached about 68700 displaced people, followed by the displacement operation from central Syria -north Homs and south Hama- which included about 35000 displaced civilians, fighters and their families, followed by the south of Rif Dimashq by 9270 displaced persons, while about 2000 were displaced from al-Kadam neighborhood and part of al-Yarmouk Camp of fighters and civilians, while about 6240 civilians and fighters have been displaced from the Eastern Qalamoun, and 2140 people have been displace from Daraa province while 2789 people have been displace from Al-Quneitra province towards the Syrian north.
Also, hundreds of thousands of civilians remained in the areas where the displacements took place after accepting the “settlement with the regime” with a Russian guarantee, and in accordance with conditions that have been signed by the people.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored the arrival of largest part of the displaced people to Afrin area, from which hundreds of thousands of its people have been displaced by “Olive Branch” operation, and tens of thousands of them have been resettled in houses of civilian and farms, and in camps in the southwestern countryside of Afrin, while the other part remained in the northern countryside of Aleppo and in Idlib Province, where some of them refused to be settled by the Turkish authorities and the factions in Afrin area, they also refused to live in homes where its people have been displaced, where the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored over the past few days that the Turkish authorities resettled the displaced people of the Eastern Qalamoun and the Eastern Ghouta in Afrin area, after displacing hundreds of thousands of civilians out of it, by the military operation carried out by the Turkish Forces and the Syrian rebel and Islamic factions of the “Olive Branch” Operation, which was launched on the 20th of January 2018 until the 18th of March of the same year.
