Tents burn in Syria’s Hawl Camp
HASAKAH, Syria (North Press)-On Monday, the Internal Security Forces (Asayish) managed to extinguish a fire that broke out in the second sector of the foreigners’ section in Hawl Camp, east of Hasakah.
A fire spread in one of the kitchens and burnt more than ten tents, though the cause of the fire is still unknown.
An administrative source from the camp said that the fire did not cause any casualties, and the damage was limited to the material.
