Sending a humanitarian convoy to the Rukban refugee camp located in the At Tanf area is out of the question as long as its territory is seized by the US-controlled militant groups, the joint statement of the Russian and Syrian interdepartmental coordination staffs said Wednesday.
“There is no question of sending a humanitarian convoy to Rukban camp under the conditions of the camp’s residents are held by US-controlled militia,” the statement said.
No convoy is able to help the humanitarian catastrophe that has unfolded in the camp and that can only be resolved by eliminating the facility, the statement added.
“Only full elimination of the camp can stop sufferings of the Syrians who are forcefully held there,” the statement read.
