200 people to be displaced from Homs’ al-Waer on Monday

An agreement that was reached to, between population’s representatives and Assad regime, in Homs’ al-Waer neighborhood few days before Eid al-Adha is to come into force tomorrow on Monday, Orient Net learned from special sources.

The agreement provides that only 200 hundred people should forcefully be displaced from the neighborhood, including fighters and their families.

This agreement came after civilians in al-Waer lived in dire conditions. A big number of those being forcefully displaced from the neighborhood have chronic diseases and need immediate treatment and medical follow up, which has been missing for years in the besieged neighborhood, the sources said.

According to the agreement, 200 people, including fighters, injured people and their families, will exit the neighborhood, while a civil status registry office would be opened in al-Birr Hospital to follow their cases. Those people would obtain civil registry excerpts, certificates of birth, and other services.

One of the most important reasons for leaving the besieged al-Waer neighborhood is the medical blockade laid on the neighborhood by Assad terrorists, which is significantly affecting Cancer and kidney patients, Osama Abu Zaid, Head of Homs Media Center told Orient Net.

50% of those forcefully leaving are from the original population of the neighborhood, while the other half consists of IDPs who came to the neighborhood before the siege, and after the bloody killing campaigns that Assad terrorists launched on the neighborhood of the old city in Homs, Abu Zaid added.

Assad regime released 200 civilians, including 17 women, according to the agreement which was signed between the neighborhood’s representatives and the regime.

This brings back to minds what happened last month in Darayya and its neighboring Mo’addamyya in Damascus countryside, where about 2000 people with their families left heading to Idlib in the north after an agreement with Assad regime.

Assad regime has been following the policy of ‘starve or kneel’ with neighborhoods and cities which it could not control. The regime afterwards holds agreements to have the opposition fighters and the population leave, as they do not have other choices after being besieged for month or years, like what happened in Homs neighborhoods, two years ago, Darayya, Mo’addamyya and al-Zabadani.
