On August 18, 2023, a battery exploded due to the extreme heat in al-Zohour2 Camp for internally displaced persons (IDPs) on the outskirts of Izaz city in northern rural Aleppo governorate, causing a fire. While no casualties were recorded, four tents and their contents were completely destroyed in the blaze. 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.
