Syrian
civilians who have been evacuated from two militant-besieged
northwestern towns recount their suffering under terror. The
civilians were allowed out of the towns of Kefraya and al-Foua in the
Idlib province last December after Syria’s army and allied Lebanese
resistance fighters of Hezbollah reached a truce deal with militants
on their evacuation.
Press TV's
correspondent met with the community of the internally-displaced in
the suburbs of the capital Damascus.
“When
we were leaving Kefraya, militants did a strict checking to terrify
us and provoke us. They also terrified our children,” said an
evacuated Syrian.
Another
said, “Convoys delivered aid to al-Foua and Kefraya, but they
are not enough. Militants used to rob the essential materials of
these convoys.”
“We
appeal to the United Nations and all the humanitarian organizations
to stop the siege,” said one male as militants maintain the
siege and keep violating the terms of the ceasefire agreement.
“We are
here for emergency cases. Most of the cases are neurological damage
and amputations due to lack of healthcare and all of those evacuated
have malnutrition cases,” said medic Ashraf Haj Ahmad, who
serves as a first aid clinic, set up in Damascus countryside to see
to the different health problems of the evacuees.
