US-controlled zone in Syria's al-Tanf: US Forces, Armed Groups Impede Access to Rukban Camp in Syria

The Russian Defense Ministry has commented on the humanitarian situation around Syrian refugee camp al-Rukban.

"At the same time, the American side and the illegal armed groups operating in the same zone are preventing the Syrian government from organizing a safe corridor and delivering humanitarian supplies to people in the camp from the territory of Syria," the Russian Defense Ministry said.

According to the ministry's Center for Syrian reconciliation, the humanitarian situation in the al-Rukban refugee camp, located in Homs province (18 kilometers (some 11 miles) south of the al-Tanf settlement and inside the US-controlled zone on the Syria-Jordan border) is deteriorating, as the circulation of drugs, the propaganda and recruitment of people into terrorist organizations continues there.
