In the village of Tel Samen in the northern countryside of the city of Raqqa, Girê Spi District Council, in cooperation and coordination with the Civil Council of Raqqa, inaugurated the camp of displaced persons, on the 22nd of November of last year.

The camp now houses 1301 displaced people spread over 249 families, among the 141 tents provided by the Kurdish Red Crescent, but the arrival of displaced families to the camp is still continuing, and therefore the camp administration can no longer receive more of the displaced.

The co-chair of the camp of the displaced persons of Girê Spi Fadia Sharif explained to our agency that the amount of tents provided by the Kurdish Red Crescent in two batches has run out, and continued by saying: "Now we cannot receive more displaced people in the camp, now most of the tents are sheltering more than a family."

Fadia pointed out that 1,000 tents were to be set up at the beginning of the camp's opening, but this plan was implemented of only 25 percent, despite the large numbers that come to them on a daily basis, which reaches between 10 to 15 families.

Fadia concluded her speech by calling on all international organizations to provide aid and tents to shelter the displaced, who were forced by the conditions of war and occupation to leave their homes.

It is worth noting that the people of the areas occupied by the Turkish occupation army and its mercenaries after its attacks that began in October 9 of last year, are forced from their homes, due to the practices and violations of the Turkish occupation army and its mercenaries on the one hand, and the forced displacement of some families to settle the mercenary families.
