On February 14, 2024, heavy rainfall caused material damage in al-Jabal Camp, a site housing internally displaced persons (IDPs), located near Jarablos city in eastern rural Aleppo governorate. The rainwater totally destroyed two tents and partially destroyed eight more. Some of the tents were flooded by the rainwater, while the ceilings of others collapsed, in addition to water torrents forming around the tents. The area is under the control of the Syrian National Army (SNA).
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) notes that that these repeated occurrences further worsen the already dire living conditions of IDPs, exacerbating their existing severe hardships. We urge international relief organizations, including the UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), to urgently respond to the camps’ basic needs, and provide the camps’ administration with additional tens for emergencies.
