On August 21, 2023, a fire whose cause is so far unidentified broke out in al-Nour Camp for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Shamarin town in northern rural Aleppo governorate. While no casualties were recorded, the blaze completely destroyed one tent and its contents. 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 urgent basic needs of IDPs’ camps, and to supply the camps’ administration with additional tents for emergencies.
