On March 6, 2024, a fire, caused by a cooking gas leak, broke out in a tent in Abu Ya’rub Camp which is designated for housing earthquake-affected internally displaced persons in Jendeires town in the rural areas of Afrin in northern rural Aleppo governorate. While no casualties were recorded, the tent and its 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.
