Russia, Syria urge world community to open its eyes to real situation at Rukban camp

Russia and Syria are calling on the world community to realize the truth about the situation at the Ruban refugee camp, the heads of the Russian and Syrian inter-agency coordination headquarters, Mikhail Mizintsev and Hussein Makhlouf, said in a joint statement.

“Based on the principles of humanism, confirmed by certain actions rather than words, once again we are calling on the international community to open its eyes to the real situation at the Rukban camp, and not to fall for US pledges on taking care about Syrians, but to trust only facts and real actions,” the statement said.

According to the Russian and Syrian representatives, the refugees at the Rukban camp are facing poor sanitary conditions, diseases, cold and hunger.

Russia and Syria have repeatedly complained about Washington’s hypocrisy, which is declaring its commitment to the generally recognized humanitarian values, but is taking no steps to fulfill it.
