The suffering of some 200,000 civilians living in the rest of the ISIS-controlled areas of AL-Bukmal village east of Deir Ezzor has continued to deteriorate, while the organization continues to prevent civilians from leaving its areas on the one hand, while being surrounded by SDF elements on the other.
