Al-Qassem told Agence France-Presse yesterday, Sunday, that “the camp was closed today,” after “the entire Syrian and non-Syrian families were transferred,” noting that the government “developed development and reintegration plans for the families, away from the media.”
Al-Qasim, the government official charged with managing the camp’s affairs, pointed out that “the women and children of the camp need support in order to integrate them.”
Sources in humanitarian organizations and witnesses reported to the agency that most of the foreigners who were in the camp left after the Syrian Democratic Forces withdrew from it in late January.
The camp was taken over by the Syrian security forces, which were spread across large areas in the north and east of the country that were under the control of the SDF, before an agreement was reached between the two parties stipulating a gradual process of integration of the military and administrative forces in Al-Hasakah Governorate.
