On November 3, 2024, a rainstorm hit multiple areas where internally displaced persons (IDPs) camps are located in northwestern Syria. The storm formed pools of water, ponds, and mud, flooding some low-lying tents and temporary housing units in 20 camps in the rural areas of two governorates of Idlib and Aleppo.
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.
