DAMASCUS, Syria, Feb 28 (NNN-SANA) – A Syrian-Russian joint coordination committee, demanded in a statement Wednesday, the U.S. forces to withdraw from Syria.
The Joint Coordination Committee for Return of Syrian Refugees, said that, the U.S. must withdraw its forces, which are illegally present on Syrian soil.
The Syrian government, in coordination with the Russian side, will organise humanitarian convoys as at the beginning of Mar, to help return the displaced Syrians in the Rukban camp in southeastern Syria to their areas, said the statement.
The U.S. forces in the al-Tanf area are preventing aid convoys from reaching the camp, which is controlled by the rebels, near the Syrian-Jordanian border, it said.
The humanitarian convoys would reach the area, in coordination with the UN, the statement added.
The Syrian and Russian sides opened two humanitarian corridors near al-Tanf, for the evacuation of people from al-Rukban on Feb 19.
The statement charged that, the U.S. forces in al-Tanf were preventing the people from leaving the camp.
The Rukban camp is home to 50,000 displaced Syrians, who are suffering from harsh humanitarian situation, because of the cold weather and lack of supplies.– NNN-SANA
