- A number of activists launched a campaign called "death camps" in the eastern region of Syria to bring attention and action to reduce the risks and extortion suffered by the displaced people from the areas held by ISIS.
Falak al-Hussein, director of the campaign, told Qasioun that "after all the roads were cut off before the people of Deir Ezzor, Raqqa and Hasakah, they the only rout out for them is towards the SDF-held control areas."
Falak added that the numbers of displacement "were very big in the last month, as a result of the progress of the SDF and the Syrian regime in Raqqa and its east, as well as the bombing campaign of Russian air force."
"The decisions of obligatory recruitment imposed by ISIS, forced the people of the eastern provinces to move to the north of Syria," she pointed.
Also, pointed out that the camps controlled by SDF are: "Forced detention camps, gathering displaced persons and preventing them from going out to the opposition areas or Turkey and imposing on them the presence of a Kurdish guarantor and the payment of large amount of up to a thousand dollars,”
The camps in the former areas lack the basic elements of survival, as a desert region. More than ten deaths were recorded in al-Karama camp in Raqqa and six other cases in the al-Sadd camp, according to SDF.
"The situation in the detaining facilities is better than the camps of SDF, they force impossible conditions to get out of the camp, and some camps like the al-Sadd, have stopped prevented people from going out at all recently," she said.
She called on the international community and international organizations to "open humanitarian corridors for civilians fleeing from the areas of clashes and from the areas of ISIS control which they are forcibly recruited to fight with them, and to supervise the camps of internally displaced peoples in Syria, and to find a mechanism to ensure the international protection of these displaced persons and their families, and to bring the necessary means of life and survival."
The spokeswoman of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Syria, "Angie Sedqi" confirmed that more than 40 camps were established in relatively far areas of eastern Syria, and host about 70 thousand people, and it is difficult to deliver aid to them, noting that "these tents are literally in the heart of the desert where snakes and scorpions pose a daily threat to people.
