Residents of northern Syria have been suffering for years amid growing poverty rates and lack of services. The situation is worsened by the harsh weather conditions every year. Meanwhile, little to no assistance is provided to those living in tents in the camps for internally displaced persons (IDP), whose numbers are constantly increasing.
Most recently, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has cast a shadow over northern Syria. This was evident in the significant increase in the prices of some basic food commodities, especially those imported from Russia and Ukraine.
