BBC sees a fragile cessation of fire in the province of battle

The BBC is trying to reach the southern Syrian city have killed hundreds of peopleS The fragile fire is held, but the area remains extremely tense.

On Monday, we received within six miles of Suweida, as close as it was considered safe.

“There is Snipers Druze ahead.

Along the way, we passed through deserted villages of Druze, now under complete control of Syrian state control.

Last week, this highway was obviously a battlefield. Stores and business are burned. The sidewalks are covered with shells.

Every half a mile or so we would encounter small groups of soldiers from the Syrian army. Young men, everyone in black, sipping on hot tea, their rifles from their sides.

It has been four days since the Syrian government unfolded its troops to impose a ceasefire.

The goal was to try to end a week of sectarian violence between the minority religious community and the Bedouin tribes who left over 1,000 people killed.

For now, it seems that the cessation of the fire is holding, but it is fragile.

As we headed south, we came across hundreds of armed Bedouins massively from the road.

In their distinctive red and white headscarves, they were in a challenging mood, firing wildly in the air, while Syrian government soldiers looked anxiously.

They all said they were ready to take a weapon again if the cessation of the fire collapsed.

Meanwhile, the Syrian red crescent managed to remove some of the wounded by Suvida.

At the main hospital in the southern Syrian city of Deroa, we saw some of the wounded were introduced.

The 27 -year -old Ahmed was crammed into crutches, still in the fatigue of his Syrian army, but with his left leg, very bandaged.

“A rocket -driven grenade broke out and I was hit by shrapnel,” he said, Winging.

“I want to do something clear when we entered Subitida, the houses in front of us were burned. The bodies of the children were burned. There were children with severed heads,” said the young Solider.

“The situation was out of the imagination.”

The BBC failed to check its allegations.

Outside the hospital, I was talking to Riham Bermavi, a coordinator of the Syrian red crescent.

Calling the situation “catastrophic”, she said she had a shortage of medication and first aid kits.

“Too many operations are needed,” she added.

She had just managed to bring some of the wounded from Suwis, but said it was probably too dangerous on the way to try another medical evacuation that day because sniper were shooting at the ambulances.

So what’s the future for Syria?

The most serious sectarian violence after the Syrian uprising, which led the Islamist rebel leader Ahmed al -Sharaa to power late last yearS

He came after decades of dictatorship under the Assad regime.

“We all have to work more about Syria and be united,” I told me Raed Al-Sale, Minister of Disaster Management and Response to Emergency Situations, in a shelter for displaced people in the province of Suveida.

“We have a lot of challenges, but we also have great hope,” he said.

“We have sages in our communities, so I believe we can overcome this difficult phase and can achieve peace and justice.”

But on the way to the city of Suwis, we have not witnessed many of this.
