Yesterday, Friday, dozens of internally displaced families from Deir ez-Zor, who had been residing in al-Hawl camp in the east of Hasakah in northeastern Syria, left the camp and returned to their areas.

 

According to a well-informed source in al-Hawl camp told North-Press, the new batch that left the camp included 44 families consisting of 191 people with no links to the Islamic State (ISIS). The source indicated that most of them were women and children.

 

The source pointed out that this is the 15th group of people transferred into the care of the tribal elders so that they may return to their now-stabilized areas.

 

In particular, this is the seventh batch of displaced people from Deir ez-Zor who were released by the al-Hawl camp administration since the Arab Tribes Forum was held in the town of Ein Issa in northeastern Syria in May 2019.

 

Earlier, on the 16th of February, the camp administration returned seven families from the Hasakah region to their areas in Deir ez-Zor.

 

According to the camp administration, the al-Hawl camp houses more than 65,000 Iraqi and Syrian IDPs and refugees, including thousands of families of ISIS fighters who are under heavy guard by the Autonomous Administration in North and East Syria.
