Khaberni - Thousands of families in displacement camps in rural Aleppo and Idlib in northwest Syria are experiencing difficult humanitarian conditions due to rainfall and snow that pose a real threat to their lives.
These families are staying in camps of Zouf on the Syrian-Turkish border, where they have not been able to return to their country after the fall of the ousted president Bashar al-Assad, due to the destruction of their homes during the years of war.
According to Al Jazeera, thousands of Syrians are living in these makeshift camps which lack the basic necessities of life, facing freezing weather conditions in the evening hours, while relief organizations and rescue teams are completely absent.
Most of these people are from rural Latakia and they are waiting for reconstruction so that they can return to their destroyed and completely infrastructure-less areas.
However, these camps lack heating means and blankets, which puts these people's lives in severe danger, according to Abu al-Hossam, who confirmed the absence of relief teams so far.
Aid has almost stopped, and all civil organizations have ceased operations after the fall of Assad, hence the residents of these camps have no way to protect themselves from the temperatures which have reached two degrees below zero, according to a correspondent from Al Jazeera.
Some tents have collapsed due to the snow that covered everything and closed roads, making the displaced exposed to complete siege and isolation from city centers.
The displaced are trying to open roads and remove snow from over the tents or provide heating gas, yet merely going out on the streets poses a risk to life, as Abu al-Hossam said, confirming that they have made many calls for help to the Syrian government to move to their rescue.
