On June 3, 2023, an electrical malfunction caused fires in a number of tents housing internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the Bab al-Salama Camp near Sejjo village in the northern suburbs of Aleppo. While no casualties were recorded, the blaze completely destroyed three tents and their contents, in addition to causing moderate damage to tents nearby. 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.
