IDLIB, Syria — On Nov. 25, the United Nations assessed the humanitarian situation in Syria, warning that the coming winter season will be “incredibly hard.”

Ramesh Rajasingham, the acting deputy UN Emergency Relief Coordinator, said, “More than 3 million people across Syria require assistance through what is likely to be an incredibly hard winter,” noting that those displaced remain “particularly vulnerable,” according to the official UN website.

Syria’s Response Coordination Group also appealed to the humanitarian organizations to contribute to securing the needs of the displaced in camps in northern Syria, after the flooding of about 23 camps in Idlib and the Aleppo countryside following the rainfalls on Dec. 15 that damaged many tents inhabited by dozens of families.

“We call on the humanitarian organizations operating in the area to shoulder their responsibilities toward the displaced in the camps,” the Response Coordination Group posted on Facebook on Dec. 15, noting that those same organizations bear the responsibility for not preparing for the coming winter disasters.
