Syrian IDPs prepare to leave Hawl camp to Raqqa
HASAKAH, Syria (North Press) – The administration of Hawl camp in Hasakah Governorate in northeast Syria intends to evacuate a new batch of Syrian IDPs towards the city of Raqqa, northern Syria.
On May 29, a first batch of 2023 of Syrian IDPs were evacuated towards the city of Manbij and its countryside.
Hawl Camp, 45 km east of the city of Hasakah, houses 55.829 individuals, including 28.725 Iraqis, 18.850 Syrians and 8.254 of foreign nationalities, according to the latest statistics obtained by North Press.
On October 2020, the Executive Council of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES), following mediations from tribe leaders and notables, decided to evacuate all Syrian IDPs who wish to leave the Hawl camp and send them back to their original regions.
An official source in the camp said on Wednesday that they began registering names and carrying out the necessary procedures to evacuate a batch of Raqqa IDPs, without mention their precise number.
The source told North Press that they are checking the names of the departing families and completing the needed procedures to send them to Raqqa.
