Children displaced from Idlib, Syria face a harsh winter

Children and their families living in this makeshift camp in a hard-to-reach area in western rural Aleppo are facing an especially harsh winter. After being displaced from Sinjar in eastern rural Idlib seeking safety, families now live in the most basic conditions and a severe lack of services. With worn-out tents, lack of warm winter clothes and blankets and no access to fuel or heaters, children and their families are unable to fend off the cold. Years of violence, displacement and loss of livelihoods have left families unable to provide for their children’s most basic needs, including for winter clothes.
