On April 19, 2024, a fire of unidentified cause broke out in a temporary housing unit for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in al-Abrar Camp in Babsqa village in northern rural Idlib governorate. While no casualties were recorded, the roof of one of the housing unit’s rooms was destroyed in the blaze, with the contents of the unit 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.
