On July 21, 2024, a fire, caused by an electrical malfunction, broke out in al-Qalaa Camp for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Jendeires town, administratively a part of Afrin city, in northwestern Aleppo governorate. While no casualties were recorded, two tents were completely destroyed, two temporary housing units were partially destroyed, and the contents of both the tents and the housing units were heavily damaged. 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.
