On December 29, 2023, a fire, caused by a home heater, broke out in a tent in the Ard al-Ata camp for internally displaced persons (IDPs) near Kelli village in northern rural Idlib governorate. A man and a boy were injured in the blaze, which completely destroyed the tent and severely damaged its contents. The area is under the control of armed opposition factions and Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).
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.
