Mohammad al-Said, Director of the Northern District of Quneitra, told SANA that the delegation listened to extensive testimonies from local citizens regarding the systematic harassment they face near the 1974 ceasefire line.
The residents presented several urgent cases to the UN officials, highlighting a deteriorating security and humanitarian situation including enforced disappearances, some families detailed the abduction of several young men by occupation forces months ago, whose whereabouts and conditions remain unknown.

The delegation was briefed on the recent killing of a civilian in the town of al-Rafid, who was targeted and killed while going to his farm.
