Displaced persons in al-Rajem al-Abyad camp in the northern al-Raqqa countryside are suffering greatly in the absence of humanitarian and relief assistance and repeated promises to support this camp.

The camp is home to hundreds of displaced people near agricultural lands and irrigation canals to secure drinking water, in difficult living conditions that are increasing day after day in terms of old tents and lack of support for them to secure living conditions.

A reporter for  Hawar agency visited the camp where he met displaced Amer al-Khaled from Deir ez-Zor countryside, who spoke about his suffering

He said "We have been full of promises and many words from humanitarian organizations whose employees come to do just do the statistics."

He added "What we hope for is nothing but promises."

He added "We have been in the camp for almost a year, and we have begun to rely on ourselves to work as farmers (working for a daily wage). In this way, we can support our large families, and sometimes we share our lives with other families. "

Emm Abdul Karim is also fed up with the promises of organizations that have said that "it is only useless to register on papers."

She added "The organizations come to us and record the number of displaced people and the physical situation, but it is only a matter of registration. Since we came to the camp a year ago they gave us twice the aid but did not meet our need and the distribution was on some of the displaced people, and others did not receive anything."

It is noteworthy  that al-Rajem al-Abyad camp is one of the random camps located about 25 kilometers east of al-Raqqa.

The camp is home to nearly 700 families and lacks the most basic and essential services in the absence of health care and timid humanitarian assistance by organizations operating in the northern countryside of al-Raqqa city.
