On July 8, local sources of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the so-called”Emir” responsible for the Al-Sumaria neighborhood west of the capital, Damascus, had given about 300 families of the neighborhood residents 72 hours to leave their homes, without allowing them to take their furniture or personal belongings. This was done under the pretext of unjustified “security”, and without providing any support or housing alternatives to the affected families.
