Rukban is an Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) Camp in the desert of Syria on the border with Iraq and Jordan. The Camp is a home to 10,000 civilians, nearly half of whom are children, orphans who have nowhere else to go after having fled other regions in Syria that are controlled by the regime of Bashar al-Assad and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The Assad regime blocks aid deliveries to the Camp. This episode explains to the plight of the people in Rukban who starve without food, healthcare, or sewage. The Syrian Emergency Task Force (SETF) is the only organization providing food, medicine, and relief to those suffering in Rukban. During the early months of the Biden Administration, this episode gives listeners the occasion to focus on the plight of the Syrian people in the Camp and in Idlib Province, as we explore with SETF Executive Director Mouaz Moustafa the priorities in the country ten years after the start of violence there.
