Rain storm | Heavy rain causes damage to over 20 camps in NW Syria

As poor weather continues in the north-western Syria, the refugee camps are experiencing a disastrous situation, especially with to the strong rain storm which hits the region.

 

Reliable sources have informed SOHR that over 20 refugee camps sustained substantial damage due to the heavy rain which left these camps’ inhabitants in the open, after parts of the camps’ walls have been destroyed and many tents have been blown away. It is worth noting that the damaged camps are concentrated in Deir Hassan, Qah, Sarmada, Al-Dana, Kafr Yahmoul, Al-Sheikh Bahr and other scattered areas host several makeshift camps.

 

Meanwhile, tens of families have been displaced to nearby places and other tents that have not been affected by the floods.

 

On the other hand, aid organizations are still unable to deal with the crisis, as their services are limited to repair and rehabilitate the damaged camps without setting a future plan to help the displaced people.

 

Every winter, the sufferings of displaced people in Idlib repeats, as camps and tents are flooded due to rain storms, forcing them to displace again to safer places.
