On March 21, 2024, heavy rainfall caused material damage to camps housing internally displaced persons (IDPs) Jendeires town in Afrin city in northern rural Aleppo governorate. The rainwater flooded the tents and formed torrents and pools of water around them, damaging 10 tents in total. The area is under the control of 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.
