٠٠:٠٥:٠٧Dozens of Syrian families were seen journeying to the government-controlled village of Tal Maraq from opposition-held areas, as seen in footage captured in the Idlib countryside on Thursday.
“The reality is tragic, we were unable to flee south when the militants arrived seven years ago," explained Ali Hassan al-Ibrahim. "We headed north and lived in tents between the … mountains. We spent seven years there."
"The water insecurity and the imposed blockade made those years seem like a hundred years," he continued. "My two 10-year-old boys have never received an education."
Footage shows families building their homes and going about their daily lives, with children seen playing outside and women preparing meals.
According to the Syrian News Agency (SANA), the government regained control over a number of towns and villages in the Idlib countryside including Tal Marq a few years ago.
Later, the General Company for Construction and Development branch in Hama began the restoration and rehabilitation work on six schools destroyed during the conflict.
The country's civil war began in 2011 and saw hundreds of thousands killed and millions displaced. President Bashar al-Assad now controls most of the country, which was readmitted to the Arab League last year.
