US EditionSyrian families return home in time for Eid al-Adha after years in notorious displacement camp
- Syrian officials closed the Rukban camp located close to Jordan’s frontier on Saturday, bringing an end to a prolonged period of displacement for those living there.
- The camp was established in 2014 during the civil war to shelter those fleeing ISIL and Assad’s bombardment but endured siege and isolation for years.

- The closure symbolizes a step toward ending prolonged displacement, though challenges remain due to ongoing economic and security issues faced by returnees.
