The Assistance Coordination Unit (ACU) has issued the 21st monthly monitoring report on the displaced persons camps in the north of Syria. Assessment has been made to characterise the living conditions of those displaced persons within the camps during April 2015.
The total number of the camps that have been subjected to assessment in April has increased, compared to that of a month earlier, March, in that 162 camps instead of 158 have been subjected to assessment. The “Ayadi Al Beyda” camp of Atma cluster has been separated from “Bashair Annasir” camp, and therefore, the former turned an independent camp. This also applies to Sahl Al Ghab, Tadamun and Sarkhet Tifl camps, of Al-Karameh cluster. New two camps, Salahuddin 1 and Salahuddin 2, have been opened near the village of Khirbet Al Jouz. The two camps now constitute the Khirbet Al Jouz cluster, which is named after the village.
On the other hand, two camps in Jarablus, Shabiebeh and Mala’ab, have been closed, with their residents displaced to the two camps of Jarablus 5 and Al Jabal within the same cluster due to engagements in the neighborhood.
The displacement surge continued during April, with some 981 households moving from Hama province, 271 from Idleb province and 8 from Aleppo. Most of those households moved to Atma cluster which has received 400 tents provided by Banafsaj Organisation. However, those tents have not been sufficient in number to meet the needs of the displaced households in that period. 32 households have left Bashair Al Nasir camp to Sabiroun camp located within Atma cluster due to the lack of enough space.
