Syria: Security forces liberate 6 detained people from terrorists
Damascus, Mar 27 (IBNS): The Syrian Arab Army has liberated six people who were detained by terrorist groups in Erbin in Easter Ghouta region of the country, media reports said.
According to local media reports, efforts are currently on to liberate the remaining abducted citizens.
"The delegate added that the names of the liberated citzens are Mohammad Haytham Qatramiz, Mohammad Mohei-din Nabilsi, Fadi Khudre al-Habash, Suleiman Suleiman , Abdul-Rahman Hashas and Nizar Marwan Safouf," SANA news agency reported.
Meanwhile, the United Nations in Syria has appealing urgently for help to ease the catastrophic situation for tens for thousands of people impacted by fighting in Eastern Ghouta, outside Damascus, and the northern town of Afrin.
Having seen first-hand the desperate conditions of people from east Ghouta and Afrin, who are tired, hungry, traumatized and afraid, we need to provide them with urgent aid,” Ali Al-Za’tari, UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Syria, said on Mar 19.
“These civilians are facing harrowing humanitarian conditions,” he continued. “Many remain trapped by conflict inside East Ghouta and Afrin. All are in desperate need.” The fighting in both places has killed hundreds of civilians in the past month and displaced tens of thousands.
Insecurity and fierce hostilities continue to endanger the people of East Ghouta, which UN Secretary-General António Guterres has referred to as “hell on earth.”
Most of those interviewed had some health conditions, likely due to years of lacking medicine and health care.
Meanwhile, nearly 100,000 people have been displaced by hostilities in Afrin District. The majority, some 75,000 people, have fled to Tal Refaat and the remainder to Nubul, Zahraa and surrounding villages.
The massive influx of internally displaced people is putting a strain on host communities, which are already overwhelmed. All 16 schools in Tal Refaat are being used as internally displaced shelters, resulting in the interruption of education.
Since 11 March, some 25,000 people have reportedly left East Ghoutam and on a daily basis UN teams have been visiting Dweir, Adra and Herjelleh in Rural Damascus where they are sheltering. All of these sites are well over capacity, with more people continuing to arrive on a daily basis.
