On March 4, 2024, heavy rainfall caused damage in the al-Iman and al-Resala camps in Shamareh area in northern rural Aleppo governorate. The rainwater formed muddy water pools and torrents, and seeped into housing units and tents, causing moderate damage to them. 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.
