Women and children injured in a fire in Al-Hol camp, eastern Syria
A number of women and children were injured as a result of a fire in al-Hol camp, which is controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces, where the residents suffer from poor humanitarian conditions amid a state of security chaos.
Media sources reported that a fire broke out yesterday afternoon in the camp, which led to the burning of 28 tents and the injury of 4 women and 3 children, some of whom suffered serious burns.
This came without the causes of the fire within this section, which is closely guarded and monitored by the Syrian Democratic Forces, and no one is allowed to exit or enter it without their approval, according to the same sources.
This is not the first time that the camp has been exposed to fires, as the camp witnessed this repeatedly, causing the death of a number of people, including children, and the burning of dozens of tents, among incidents that increase significantly in the summer.
About 70,000 people live in the camp, most of them women and children, many of whom were displaced due to the war in Syria and the battles against ISIS, but the majority of them are Iraqis, including about ten thousand families of foreign ISIS fighters.
