Feature: Displaced Syrians head for home amid longing, uncertainty


QAH, Syria, May 17 (Xinhua) -- In Qah village, located in Syria's Idlib province, dozens of Syrian families were loading their few belongings onto trucks and pickups for a journey back to their hometown in Tremseh, Hama province, leaving behind the dusty expanse of the Li Ajlina displacement camp, where they have lived for more than a decade.

On Friday, 100 families set out in what is likely the final convoy from the larger Qah refugee camp. Once home to 400 families, the internal displacement camp now shelters only about 30, following two mass departures in the past month.
