About 40 % of the population of Hosseiniya camp in Damascus could not return to their homes fearing of the arrest, activists told AGPS. The camp had been blocked by Syrian security forces since October 2013. The Assad regime allowed some selected families to return back homes, whereas, hundreds of displaced families are still in the shelters in different centres of the Capital and Lebanon.
The fears have been raised after arresting number of people from the camp by security forces under the pretext of supporting Syrian armed opposition groups. Some were arrested on charges of providing medical and relief aid to these groups. In addition, the Syrian regime army have blown up many homes of media and relief activists. It is worth to mention that the access to Hossieniya Palestinian refugee camp in south Damascus was allowed in 16 August 2015 to some families after two years blockade imposed by regime forces.
