Bedouins Evacuated from Syria's Suwayda Describe Massacres
----------------------------------------------------------

Syria's government is evacuating Bedouin families who remain trapped in
the city of Suwayda as a fragile ceasefire continues to hold between
Druze and Bedouin fighters. Violence between the groups that erupted
last week has displaced at least 93,000 people. Bedouin survivors say
Druze fighters went door to door attacking entire families.

Ali al-Huraym: "We were still alive, sitting by the wall to hide from
bullets. Two armed men came in and killed them all."

Reporter: "Who did they kill?"

Ali al-Huraym: "My brother, his wife, both of his kids, 8 and 6 years
old. And my wife, my mother, my sister and my daughter were injured."
