The Damascus Governor said security approvals have been issued to allow the return of displaced families to three neighborhoods in AlHajar AlAswad, south of Damascus.Â
The Governor pledged to increase the number of vehicles and staff tasked with rubble-clearance.Â
Thousands of Palestinian refugees took shelter in AlHajar AlAswad, which came under heavy shelling since 2013 and a crippling siege after ISIS crept into the area. Offensives launched by the Syrian and Russian forces resulted in heavy material damage and took away the lives of dozens of civilians.
