The Syrian Human Rights Observatory, based in United Kingdom, said that around 60,000 Syrians were back home. Thus, thousands more fled to anor area because y feared being detained by government forces. The observatory is considered to be well-connected and informed in Syria, but its reports cannot be independently verified.
According to Pedersen, Lageim south of Syria remains difficult. The care organization also shared that many families continued to live outdoors and urgently needed food, clean water and a roof over ir heads. Pedersen demanded access to area to reach needy.
Also, fights are not discontinued according to opposition activists. They reported heavy bombardment and air raids on rebel-held village around al-Majadin a few kilometres north of border crossing life. A few hours later, state news agency SANA announced that troops had taken village.
On Friday, after a two-week offensive, Syrian government forces had once again gained control of border crossing life and a strip along border between Syria and Jordan. The transition has been under control of rebels since 2015. Because of offensive of government forces, hundreds of thousands of people fled towards closed border with Jordan. On Friday, bombings and air raids were discontinued after rebels agreed to abandon border crossing under Russian mediation.
