Winter storms have devastated refugee and displacement camps across Syria, humanitarian organizations reported on Wednesday.
Freezing temperatures have also gripped neighboring Iraq in recent days, where at least three displaced people have died from exposure in the space of 72 hours, according to an Iraqi human rights monitor.
Two children died at the Ashti camp in Sulaymaniah province, as did a 71-year-old woman living in an abandoned house in Diyala province, the Afada observatory said Wednesday.
In Syria, videos and photos posted online by local photographers and residents of the camps showed tents blanketed in white while people feared the collapse of their tents.
Several camps have been flooded over the past two days, and at least two hundred tents collapsed, leaving several hundred displaced Syrians without shelter according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).
“Desperate scenes in camps for displaced people in northwest Syria today after heavy snow caused many tents to collapse,” UN Deputy Humanitarian Coordinator for Syria Mark Cutts tweeted, calling for more humanitarian support.
“There are no words to express the suffering of the people and children here,” said Fared Al Mahlool, a photographer based in northwest Syria.
On Tuesday, the humanitarian organization CARE warned that thousands of refugees were at risk as winter storms began across Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan.
