On November 21, 2024, a fire, of unidentified cause, broke out inside a temporary housing unit for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in al-Baraa Camp near Bdama town in western rural Idlib governorate. While no casualties were recorded, the unit’s zinc-made ceiling was destroyed in the fire, and its contents were heavily damaged. The area is under the control of armed opposition factions and Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).
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.
