STORYLINE:

The recent heavy snowfall has worsened life for many displaced people in war-torn Syria, particularly those living in makeshift tents set up in the northwestern province of Idlib.

Recently, Idlib has experienced significant snowfall, with some areas recording higher snow accumulation than in previous years at this time.

The combination of extreme weather and lingering war-related issues has made life even more difficult for displaced people in the region.

In a refugee camp in western Idlib, snowfall has persisted for several days, leaving muddy paths and piles of unmelted snow outside the tents.

Many people who lost their homes during years of conflict reside in the camp, where makeshift tents serve as their sole shelter to fend them from the harsh winter weather.

As temperatures plummets, issues such as fuel shortages for heating and leaking tents worsen.

The massive displacement caused by years of conflict remains unresolved, and the arrival of extreme weather has further amplified the survival risks for these families.

The displaced people rely solely on sporadic aid and occasional odd jobs to survive, and the harsh weather exacerbates their already difficult situation.

For them, the end of war does not mean a return to normal life. Every day in the bitter cold is a test.
