On June 5, 2024, a fire, caused by an electrical malfunction, broke out in Harsh Qatma Camp for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the rural areas of Izaz city in northern Aleppo governorate. While no casualties were recorded, four tents were completely destroyed, and their contents heavily damaged, 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 IDP camps’ urgent basic needs, and to supply the camps’ administration with additional tents for emergencies.
