BEIRUT (Reuters) - The Syrian government on Thursday urged people sheltering at a camp located in a U.S.-protected area on the Jordanian border to return home and said it would help them to do so.

Some 40,000 people are living in dire conditions at the Rukban camp, located in a U.S.-protected area of Syria near a Pentagon-run base at Tanf that is a focal point of tension with the Damascus government and its Russian allies.
