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.
#NeverForget

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.

Huge convoy of trucks bringing wheat from Iraq.

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. 💔

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.

‘Now the #prisoners are released from the #Sa'sa' branch, one of the most dangerous prisons of the regime, called #221, the branch of crime and murder.’
