...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State...(HTS) pressed on Monday the residents of a makeshift camp near the town of Kafarya, eastern Idlib, to evacuate within 72 hours from the date of the notice or pay the due rent along with the rent for the next three months.
A local source from the camp told North Press that "HTS has warned the residents of the Muwali camp to evacuate within 72 hours or to commit to paying the rent due for May and June, along with the rent for the next three months."
He added that the camp was established on an agrarian land that was seized by the HTS as "war spoils", with an area of ​​2.5 dunams (0.6 acre).
The camp contains about 45 families distributed among 38 tents, which were provided to them by an NGO a year ago. Most of the camp’s residents work as day laborers or as shepherds, according to the same source.
The source emphasized that the camp’s residents can barely secure their basic needs. HTS’ decision leaves them with the difficult choice of either being evicted or paying the rent to stay.
