Heavy rain and flooding wreaked havoc in Syria's Atma refugee camp, Turkish NGO Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH) said in a written statement on Friday (December 28).
Footage released by IHH showed submerged refugee tents and flooded roads in refugee camps in Atma, located in Syria's Idlib province.
Heavy rain and flooding has created “catastrophic conditions” for those living in northern Syrian refugee camps, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said on Wednesday (December 26).
Several camps have been submerged underwater and tents destroyed, SOHR said on its website. They also said that relief and service parties are doing nothing to help those impacted.
Syria's civil war has killed hundreds of thousands of people, forced millions to flee in the worst refugee crisis since World War Two and embroiled regional and world powers.
