03:45The operation of transporting Syrian citizens from al-Hawl camp continues after the Kurdish Autonomous Administration and Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) allowed the return of dozens of displaced Syrian families from the refugee camp located to the east of Hasakah city, to their homes in different parts Deir ez-Zor on Sunday.
Footage reveals families, mostly children and women, getting ready to leave the camp. Trucks loaded with luggage can also be seen driving out of the camp, situated on the outskirts of the town of al-Hawl in Syria's Hasakah Governorate.
This camp has historically housed individuals displaced from regions previously under the control of the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS), including relatives of individuals accused of being IS fighters.
Manal Haj Ali, a Kurdish official with the Syrian Center for Studies and Dialogue, highlighted the journey’s composition, noting that "the convoy headed to Deir ez-Zor includes 82 families and a total of 346 individuals."
"The trip was approved by the Democratic Syria Forces, the Democratic Syria Council, and the General Council of the North and East Syria Region in their tripartite meeting; it was also one of the outcomes of the tribal conference held some time ago," Haj Ali declared.
Among those preparing for the journey is Reem Nasser Manna, a displaced mother who expressed her hope for broader solutions, stating, "We hope everyone leaves and all families get out of here."
After 158 families departed the camp in May, this marks the second group of families to leave this year.
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), as of mid-2023,, the camp holds approximately 64,619 people, 48 percent of which are Iraqis (30,824), 37 percent Syrians (24,325), and 15 percent are third-country nationals (9,462).
