Displaced Syrians left out in rain by HTS government's building fees
The Syrian Salvation Government has imposed construction fees on displaced citizens trying to build homes in Idlib, raising the costs beyond what many can afford.
The recent winter rains and extreme cold have exacerbated the suffering of thousands of residents of displaced camps in northern Syria who are in need of winter clothes and heaters as they struggle with mud slides that are disrupting movement inside the camps.
However, with the coronavirus pandemic, rain is far from the only concern for these displaced Syrians.
The United Nations has described the conditions in the camps in northern Syria as “the largest catastrophe of the 21st century.”
International humanitarian organizations have repeatedly warned against the deteriorating conditions of the displacement camps in north Syria that are worsened by the heavy rainfall that hits the region each year. But 10 years into the Syrian war, these organizations are still struggling to contain the crisis.
