According to a recent report by Human Rights Watch (HRW), tens of thousands of individuals who sought refuge in Kurdish-controlled northeast Syria are currently experiencing dire conditions due to a lack of shelter and basic necessities. The organization highlighted that reception centers in Tabqa and Raqqa have reached full capacity, prompting authorities to establish additional centers in Kobani, al-Hasakah, and Qamishli to accommodate the influx of displaced people.
The mass displacement began on November 27 when a rebel coalition launched a major assault on territories held by the Bashar al-Assad regime, culminating in the fall of the capital, Damascus, over the weekend. As a result, many individuals fled to the north in search of safety.
