58 families from Deir ez-Zor leave IDP camp in NE Syria
HASAKAH, Syria (North Press) – Fifty-eight families, totaling 305 individuals from Deir ez-Zor departed on Tuesday from the Arisha camp in the countryside of Hasakah city in northeastern Syria after 8 years of displacement.
Salwa Jejo, co-chair of the camp, told North Press that these families return to their homes after the fall of the Syrian regime, a decision further driven by the dwindling support from relief organizations.
The voluntary relocation efforts for the displaced will continue until a full return is secured, Jajo added.
She also acknowledged the deep-seated fears among returnees, noting that many of their homes have been destroyed in the war or lie too close to dangerous minefields.
According to camp administration, Arisha camp currently shelters around 14,000 displaced people from various regions of Syria.
