The Syrian government is facilitating the evacuation of hundreds of Bedouin families from Suwayda city due to a fragile ceasefire after violent clashes with the Druze community. In recent evacuations, 500 people have already left, with plans to evacuate around 1,500 individuals. The violence resulted in nearly 260 deaths and displaced over 128,571 people. Some Bedouin families are leaving voluntarily as they feel threatened. Efforts are underway to restore peace and allow displaced civilians to return to their homes in Suwayda.
The Syrian government is evacuating hundreds of Bedouin families trapped inside the southern city of Suwayda, where a fragile ceasefire is holding after Druze and Bedouin fighters fought for a week.
At least 500 people have already left on 10 buses this morning, and more are expected to exit Suwayda in the next few hours, according to Al Jazeera's Mohamed Vall.
The clashes between the Druze minority and Bedouin clans, which began on July 13, killed nearly 260 people and threatened to unravel Syria's post-war transition.
Syrian Interior Minister Ahmad al-Dalati stated that the evacuation process will also allow displaced civilians from Suwayda to return as efforts for a complete ceasefire are under way.
