Recent fighting in Syria’s northwest has displaced more than 280,000 people, the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) reported on Thursday.
The clashes have intensified in areas held by opposition groups, worsening the humanitarian situation in the region. Many families have been forced to seek shelter in overcrowded camps near the Turkish border, facing shortages of food, water, and medical supplies.
WFP has called for immediate action to address the crisis, urging all parties to allow safe passage for civilians and access for humanitarian aid. The organization is working to provide food assistance to those affected but faces significant challenges due to the ongoing conflict.
This displacement adds to the millions who have already been uprooted by over a decade of conflict in Syria, highlighting the urgent need for a peaceful resolution and increased support from the international community.
