About 61000 displaced people in 4 camps east of Euphrates face a worsening humanitarian situation, and the international organizations and the United Nations are responsible for the lack of support and the corruption of their teams
Hunger over hunger, displacement after another, and as the world pretends not to see, refrains from hearing the voices in distress, and doesn’t provide assistance; the tragedy escalates and the suffering increases with every new death or a journey towards it, where the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights continues to follow the human file of the displaced people in camps of the countryside of al-Hasakah and the east of Euphrates, where the Syrian Observatory monitored 4 major camps in the area, they are: Rouj Camps, Ayn Issa Camps, Nirouz, and al-Hool, which bear hunger, death, and suffering towards securing the necessities of daily life, where the Syrian Observatory monitored the presence of about 61000 displaced people in these 4 camps distributed in about 13000 families, and the Syrian Observatory monitored the presence of 12900 persons in Ayn Issa camp including 10273 children and women, while in al-Rouj Camp there are 1696 people including 1616 children and women, and in Nirouz camp there are 319 people including more than 250 children and women, and in the al-Hool camp there are about 45500 displaced people including 561 families of foreign nationalities of 1470 people, and among them there are 5930 families took refuge in al-Hool camp and they are 22531 people, amid dire humanitarian conditions in these camps from the ill-treatment of relief teams of the international organizations and the United Nations, and the outbreak of bribes and corruption in exchange for aid and nepotism, the Observatory also monitored a significant shortage of materials provided by international relief agencies.
The reliable sources confirmed to the Syrian Observatory that recently a meeting took place between a committee of the United Nations and a committee of the Camps Management and from al-Hool Camp, and the Committee was briefed on the situation and information about establishing a camp in al-Suwar area in the northern countryside of Deir Ezzor with an area of about 50 dunums, where the contact is underway between UNICEF management, UNHCR, and Deir Ezzor administration, to begin sending the necessary assistance and materials and start creating a camp site.
Reliable sources confirmed to the Syrian Observatory that the displaced people continue to suffer from tragic humanitarian conditions inside the camp, because the committees inside the camp who are assigned by the United Nations and UNHCR, are not providing assistance and take bribes in exchange for distributing equipment and tents which exist and stockpiled in warehouses of UNHCR and the United Nations, at a time when the last mentioned parties request the road to be secured to deliver assistance, and reliable sources have confirmed that one of the distribution administrators and the staff member of the UNHCR and the United Nations is insulting the displaced people and cursing them, considering them as members of the “Islamic State” Organization.
and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored in a video tour the tragic humanitarian conditions the new and old displaced people are living in the camp, where the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored those in charge of the camp holding the United Nations and international organizations, such as the World Health Organization, the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees, and relief and medical organizations responsible for the significant negligence, also the displaced people confirmed to the Syrian Observatory that after contacting the United Nations to send humanitarian aid to al-Hool camp; none of the promises have been made, and the camps have not received assistance for about 15 days, also the Syrian Observatory monitored the presence of assistance within UNHCR warehouses in the camp but it has not been distributed to the displaced people, thousands of who continue to sleep out on the open within the camp, where some of them complained that they did not receive any assistance, while others received blankets, and others did not get heaters, mattresses or tents.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights recorded testimonies of displaced Syrians and Iraqi refugees, who managed to get out of the Organization’s pocket and reached al-Hool camp, they confirmed that nepotism and bribes are what enable the IDPs to get everything they need, where the corruption is getting worse and bigger as the number of displaced people increases, where they are forced to pay the money that remained with them in exchange for assistance that provides them a suitable form of life within the camp, whose children suffer from a lack of milk, food, and medicine, while others suffer from the lack of a family member or someone to support them, while some parties record and photograph the displaced people convincing them that humanitarian assistance will be granted to them, and after that these parties withdraw, leaving disappointment planted in the souls of these displaced people, who confirmed that the promises made to them in return for getting out of the Organization’s enclave of care and assistance were all false, and the displaced people appealed through the Syrian Observatory to provide supplies necessary for them to start the life of displacement imposed upon them after they left their areas, where they demanded the provision of tents, baby food, milk, heaters, blankets, mattresses, and kitchen tools, and the displaced people in the camp confirmed that they escaped from the organization’s enclave to receive help and a better life, but they were surprised by the bribes, nepotism, and corruption.
