The statement reiterated that “the territories occupied by the US forces in al-Tanf area on the Syrian-Jordanian border and east of the Euphrates are witnessing violations of all basic human rights norms and disregard for the needs of the civilian population living in the camps of the displaced, as the situation of the Syrian citizens in al-Rukban and al-Hawl camps is approaching the humanitarian disaster and worsening due to Corona epidemic and economic sanctions
