Thousands Fleeing To Kurdish-Controlled Northeast Syria Face Dire Conditions

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.
