Displaced people in Tal al-Samen in Raqqa face a harsh winter: tents flooded and mines prevent return home

Raqqa, Syria ·

Displaced families in the Tal al-Samen camp in the Raqqa countryside face harsh living conditions, with basic services in decline and regular aid absent. A large number of tents were damaged by recent rain and storms as winter sets in, and residents are calling for essential supplies and for mines to be cleared from destroyed villages so they can return.

Raqqa was the main stronghold of the Islamic State group in Syria until a US-backed, Kurdish-led force retook the city in 2017, and many residents of the surrounding area were displaced by the fighting.
