A typical sandstorm in #Rukban #Syria. Up to 50.000 internally displaced people lived in this no man's land from 2016 until earlier this year. It's hard to imagine how they could survive in such isolation, forgotten and ignored by everyone.

More than 500 people have been killed while waiting for food/aid at #Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (#GHF) sites since 27May2025. -

How can we accept this? We absolutely cannot.

This barren area of the #Syrian desert was home to an informal settlement of up to 50,000 displaced people at its peak. The #Rukban (‘berm’) camp was never recognized by the #UNHCR and received minimal assistance. It's hard to imagine how people survived there for so many years.

I wish we all go down in eternal shame for allowing this.

Fadi Saqr, one of the main perpetrators of the #Tadamon #Syria massacre in 2013, probably still walking free after initial reports of his arrest.

About 150 families remain in #Rukban, 16 of whom cannot leave because they can’t afford the transportation costs.
Of course, this cursed and hated place is not on any aid organization’s priority list. They all prefer to talk instead of act.

7 trucks set out last week to transport the remaining families from #Rukban. Residents of the town of Al Quaryatayn* donated to cover the costs. – As always, the people of Rukban can only rely on themselves without any support from international or local organizations. 💔

Families return to Palmyra from #Rukban. The transport was facilitated and operated by the new government, using cars and trucks confiscated from the previous regime.

People keep leaving the remote #Rukban camp in Southeast #Syria. Since the liberation earlier this month, around two thirds of the families have departed. However, some families are forced to stay until they figure out where to go after their homes were completely destroyed by the former regime.

Here is how #Assad's 'victory' looked like: Rule over death and destruction.
Nothing but ruins and rubble awaits people returning to Al #Quaryatayn in #Homs Governorate. The town was taken by #ISIS in 2015 and then by the Assad regime in 2016.

F*cking Musk.

More families are leaving #Rukban. - After living in extreme poverty for many years, people once again must rely on themselves, as no NGOs, #UN agencies or the #SARC have provided any assistance for transportation at all.
December 14, 2024 at 6:46 PM
Despite rumors that the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (#SARC) will help return displaced #Syrians, they are nowhere to be seen on the ground in #Rukban, nor have residents been contacted by them. As usual, the people of Rukban are alone while any #UN agencies are embarrassingly absent.

Father and son Moayad & Abdulaziz al-Obaid, killed in #Sednaya in 2020.

Unless the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) has already purged its regime-infiltrated leadership, their efforts to support #detainees sounds like a bad joke.
We know of young men who were forcibly returned from #Rukban with the #SARC under 'reconciliation' agreements just to disappear in #Sednaya.
December 12, 2024 at 6:53 PM
Some families started leaving #Rukban today. After many years living under very dire conditions in complete isolation, forgotten and neglected by the UN and aid organizations, they can finally return home.

Never forget what #Assad did to the people of #Madaya and #Zabadani.
And, while babies starved to death and patients died from preventable diseases and treatable injuries, the #WHO #Syria representative had tea with Assad in nearby Damascus.

🆘 MOST URGENT CALL from Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, Director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in North Gaza, to stop the Israel military from annihilating the hospital.

STOP THE EXTERMINATION OF NORTH GAZA NOW.
