Syrian refugee camps at Jordan border, the most abandoned

(Zaman Al Wasl)- Syrian refugees from al-Hadlat-Ruwaished refugee camp appealed to the human rights and humanitarian organizations to rescue them from a catastrophic situation and the inevitable massacres that may be inflicted upon the camp's refugees following an attack on the camp camp in the early hours of Thursday amid information that regime army unit is advancing on the camp.

Activist Yousef al-Baydawi resident in the camp told Zaman al-Wasl, that hundreds of the camp residents who owned cars were forced to leave the camp at dawn on Thursday to the Raqban camp, 110 km distant from Hadlat. Those who do not own cars have fled with their children to the desert areas adjacent to the camp to face their unknown fate.

He warned of the real disaster hitting the population of the camp whose number is 5000 under the closure of the Jordanian border, pointing out that most of them are from Deir Ezzor countryside and Homs eastern countryside.

The camp suffers from a severe shortage of food, drinking water and emergency medicines.

Al-Haldlat-Ruwaished is called the death camp due to the harsh humanitarian conditions experienced by the residents.

The camp is located on the northeastern border between Jordan and Syria in the Badiye al-Hammad region, to which aid comes in rarely due to official closure of Jordan border with Syria along the 378-kilometer border, following the events in the al-Raqban camp on June 21, 2016 when 7 Jordanian border guards were killed with a truck bomb in an operation later adopted by ISIS.

Regarding reasons why the regime wants to attack and storm the cam at this time, activist Yusuf explained that the majority of the families living in Al-Hadlat camp are families of dissident officers who joined the Free Syrian Army (FSA).

This is likely to be a sufficient cause for the regime to attack and bomb the camp daily in addition to a revengeful attack may be carried out may be carried out by units of the regime army on the camp residents, and this is what began to show signs since Thursday.
