According to Russian government, most of the displaced people in Al Rukban camp want to return home, including to regime-held territories, but many man have chosen squalid conditions over Russian offer.
Marwan, a farmer from Tadmor who refused to share his last name for security reasons, was one of those people. Just last week, he sent his children out of the camp, but stayed back himself.“We have to pay to get people out of the camp. I registered their names to have them leave via camp officials who gave them to the regime side. Some people got accepted, while others didn’t.
“I thought it was going to be a standard drive outside, but the driver, who works with the regime, was charging people $150. A relative wired us the money to help us leave. We are the subjects of ransom here.” “The dialogue between the Syrian government, Rukban communities, Russia, the US and Jordan continues,” says Hedinn Halldorson, UN spokesman in Damascus, while speaking withA survey carried out by the UN and Syrian Red Crescent found a unanimous desire to leave the camp, but most also feared for their lives.
