Homs

Tens of families who have been taken hostage by the occupying US forces and their affiliated militants in al-Rukban in al-Tanf region escaped from the camp in Homs province.

The Arabic-language Al-Watan newspaper reported on Monday that 450 civilians in the US-controlled al-Rukban Camp in Syria's al-Tanf region near the border with Iraq have fled via Jaligham crossing for areas under the Syrian Army's control in Eastern Homs.

The civilians fleeing al-Rukban Camp, who are facing very difficult and critical conditions such as shortage of foodstuff and hygienic possibilities, said that the terrorists of the region prevent their exit from the camp towards the liberated areas by the Syrian Army through fear-mongering.

Meanwhile, a sum of 1,500 civilians fled to areas under the Syrian Army control in Eastern Homs via Jaligham crossing to reach their homes in liberated areas.

The families who have escaped al-Rukban have confirmed lack of food and hygienic possibilities in the camp, adding that the US-backed terrorists keep people hungry and prevent their evacuation.

According to Fars News Agancy, hundreds of people fled and a number of others have so far been killed in the ill-famed Rukban refugee camp in al-Tanf region of Homs which has been occupied by the US and its affiliated militants at the borders with Iraq.

Eastern Euphrates

Media reports revealed that Washington has dispatched new military aid to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Eastern Euphrates after it said mission has been accomplished in the war on ISIL.

The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on Monday that the US-led coalition has sent new military convoys, including tens of trucks carrying military aid and logistical equipment, from Iraqi Kurdistan region to areas occupied by the SDF in Eastern Euphrates.

It added that nearly 700 trucks, carrying vehicles and military and logistic equipment of the US-led coalition have arrived from Iraq to Eastern Euphrates.

Last month, Washington-backed Kurdish fighters in Syria declared their final victory over the ISIL terrorist group, ending bloody battle against the group that once held territory spanning a third of Syria and Iraq.

The US Defense Department also announced that the Islamic State no longer holds any territory in Syria, according to former White House Spokeswoman Sarah Sanders.
