Locals of al-Husseinieh town in Syria begin returning to homes after three-year displacement

Hundreds of families began streaming back to their homes in al-Husseinieh town in Damascus southern countryside.

The return marks the end of three years of compulsory displacement that was triggered by terrorist attacks on the town to which the army has recently restored security and stability.

The locals have recently started a phased return to the town, with the families of martyrs returning first.

Electricity Minister Imad Khamis, who has been to the town, told journalists that the power grid has been partly rehabilitated, revealing that a damage appraisal showed that the losses amounted to SYP 700 million.

The minister pledged that repair works to rehabilitate damaged infrastructure will continue apace in the town.

The families expressed appreciation for the army’s sacrifices that made it possible for them to return to their homes after three years of displacement.
