New batch of Tel Tamr IDPs reached camp in Syria’s Derik
DERIK, Syria (North Press) – On Thursday evening, five other displaced families from the towns of Tel Tamr and Abu Rasin, north of Hasakah, arrived at Newroz camp, near Derik, in the far northeastern Syria, due to the frequent Turkish bombardment on their area.
Nadim Omar, a Relations Official in Newroz camp, said that the batch that arrived this evening included five families, numbering 32 members.
During the past three days, 56 families fled the Turkish bombardment on Tal Tamr and Abu Rasin and their villages, where the Autonomous Administration secured buses for them.
Omar added that, in addition to families that came individually, the number reached 411 families, in total of 1,880 individuals.
Newroz camp, which was opened during the Turkish attack on the areas of Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) and Tel Abyad in 2019, includes 715 families, in total of 3,420 individuals.
Local organizations provide “insufficient” aid to newly arrived families due to the continued closure of the alYa’roubiyah humanitarian crossing.
Two days ago, Martin Griffiths, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, warned that the humanitarian needs of millions of Syrians have reached their highest levels since the beginning of the war.
