A new batch of IDPs from Al-Raqqa governorate left Al-Hol camp in Al-Hasakah countryside
A new batch of displaced people from Al-Raqqa governorate left Al-Hol camp yesterday, Thursday, which is controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces, east of Al-Hasakah.
The Euphrates Post media network confirmed that the new batch included about 80 families, or about 300 people, and it is the seventh batch to leave the camp.
The new batch came out under the so-called “Syrian Democratic Council initiative”, last October.
This batch is the seventeenth of the displaced Syrian families who leave the “Al-Hol” camp, and about 16,100 families, comprising about 59,265 people, remain in the camp.
With this batch, the number of families leaving the camp since the “Syrian Democratic Council initiative” has included more than a thousand families, comprising about four thousand people.
“Al-Hol” camp is one of the worst camps inside Syrian territory, to the extent that it was called “the death camp.” Iraqi refugees constitute the largest number of its residents, as their number exceeds 30,000, out of the entire number of the camp’s residents, the majority of whom are children and women (80) percent).
The Syrian Democratic Forces are imposing a siege on the displaced in the camp, which suffers from very poor health and service conditions, in addition to volatile security conditions.
