On May 11, 2023, an electrical malfunction that affected a number of camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs) caused a fire in Bab al-Salam IDPs Camp near Sejjo village in the northern suburbs of Aleppo. While no casualties were recorded, the blaze completely burned one tent and its contents, in addition to destroying the tarpaulin covering two other tents. The area is under the control of the Syrian National Army (SNA).
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) calls on international relief organizations to meet the urgent basic needs of IDPs’ camps, and to supply the camps’ administration with additional tents for emergencies.
