Freezing temperature | New-born infant dies of hypothermia in camp near Syria-Turkey border
Roads to refugee camps cut off and more tents damaged due to the strong snowstorm in Aleppo and Idlib countryside
SOHR activists have reported that a one-month old infant died of hypothermia in his tent in Jarabulus city in north-eastern Aleppo.
According to SOHR sources, the victim’s family has been displaced from Al-Wa’ar neighbourhood in Homs and now living in Zougharah camp near the Syria-Turkey border.
Meanwhile, the recent spell of inclement weather continues in Aleppo and Idlib countryside, further worsening the catastrophic living conditions. In this context, SOHR sources have reported that some main and off-roads to areas in northern and eastern countryside of Aleppo, Afrin countryside and Idlib countryside hosting hundreds of tens accommodating displaced people from different Syrian provinces have been cut off. Furthermore, some tents in makeshift camps in Barisha town in the northern countryside of Idlib have been damaged due to the snowstorm.
We, at the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), renew our appeals to all international and humanitarian organization to provide urgent assistance and aid to the displaced people in north Syria region’s camps.
