 Syrians from Rukban camp

Displaced Syrians reach the Jlaighem crossing in the eastern countryside of Homs Province in central Syria, on April 13, 2019.

Tens of civilians reached a crossing point in the Syrian desert on Saturday from the rebel-held Rukban refugee camp in southeastern Syria.

The Rukban camp is home to 50,000 displaced Syrians, who are suffering from the harsh humanitarian situation because of the cold weather and lack of supplies. (Xinhua/Ammar Safarjalani)
