Syrian refugees' Eid al-Fitr marked by homesickness

Syrians staying in refugees camps along the Turkish-Syrian border expressed a desire to return to Syria with tears in their eyes. However, many tried to capture the joy of the end of Ramadan holiday, exchanging Eid greetings with others in the camp.

A total of 1,276 Syrian refuges have been housed in dormitories in the eastern province of Malatya. The most recent group of refugees, hailing from 19 different cities of Syria that include Hama, Latakia and Aleppo, were welcomed by police officers in front of the Malatya Police Academy. There are also reports of another refugee camp planned for the southeastern province of Adıyaman.
