The government forces have prevented international and local NGOs from accessing the camp, citing security concerns. This has significantly affected the living conditions of the camp\u2019s inhabitants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, IDPs told North Press they are preparing for an open sit-in at the beginning of next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Agid Meshmesh<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUKBAN, Syria (North Press) \u2013 IDPs in Rukban camp in southern Syria, near the Syrian border with Jordan and Iraq demanded on Wednesday international and humanitarian organizations to pressure the Syrian government to lift the siege on the camp.
