Meantime, the Arabic-language SANA news agency reported that tens of new families have succeeded in fleeing from al-Rukban camp in al-Tanf region which is controlled by the US forces and terrorists supported by Washington, passing through Syrian army-controlled areas towards Jaliqam corridor in Badiyeh (desert) region in the Eastern parts of Zaza region in Eastern Homs.

Also, the Arabic-language al-Watan newspaper quoted dissident sources as saying that 100 families, consisting of 400 people, have left al-Rukban camp in al-Tanf.

Hundreds of people fled and a number of others have so far been killed in the ill-famed al-Rukban refugee camp in al-Tanf region of Homs which has been occupied by the US and its affiliated militants at the borders with Iraq.

Al-Watan reported on Monday that tens of families who had been taken hostage by the occupying US forces and their affiliated militants in al-Rukban in al-Tanf region escaped from the camp in Homs province.

It reported that 450 civilians in the US-controlled al-Rukban Camp in Syria's al-Tanf region near the border with Iraq have fled via Jaliqam crossing for areas under the Syrian Army's control in Eastern Homs.

The civilians fleeing al-Rukban Camp, who are facing very difficult and critical conditions such as shortage of foodstuff and hygienic possibilities, said that the terrorists of the region prevent their exit from the camp towards the liberated areas by the Syrian Army through fear-mongering.

Meanwhile, a sum of 1,500 civilians fled to areas under the Syrian Army control in Eastern Homs via Jaliqam crossing to reach their homes in liberated areas.

The families who have escaped al-Rukban have confirmed lack of food and hygienic possibilities in the camp, adding that the US-backed terrorists keep people hungry and prevent their evacuation.
