2018-04-19 | |
Nearly 500 people, including children and the elderly, left the Shebaa area in southeast Leb in 15 buses for the Beit Jinn district in Syria, southwest of Damascus, which was recaptured from rebels by pro-government forces in December. The buses reached the Lebanese border on Wednesday afternoon before crossing into Syria. The convoy was organized by the Lebanese authorities, Leb's state news agency NNA reported. The UN refugee agency UNHCR, in a statement, said it was not involved in organizing "these returns or other returns at this point, considering the prevailing humanitarian and security situation in Syria". | |
