1,000 people leave Rukban camp in SE Syria

Displaced Syrians are seen upon reaching the Jlaighem crossing in the eastern countryside of Homs Province in central Syria, April 22, 2019. As many as 1,000 people left the al-Rukban camp in southeastern Syria on Monday to government-controlled areas, a war monitor reported. The batch is the largest to leave the battered rebel-held camp since the evacuation of people from the camp began earlier this month, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. (Xinhua)
