Because of the Turkish attack, more than 80 schools in the city of Hasakah have turned into shelters, which has caused pressure on other schools in terms of education, and school hours have been divided into 3 periods distributed between all school levels.

The conference began with a speech by the co-chair of the Social Affairs and Labor Authority in Al-Jazira region, Hussein Al-Ali and Walida Bouti, in both Arabic and Kurdish, and Hussein Al-Ali said at the outset of his speech, "Today we announce the opening of the Serekaniye camp to receive the displaced living in the shelters, and as a first stage 620 tents have been cleared to house 620 families. "

Hussein Al-Ali added, "We will receive the displaced on the 20th of this month, and the camp is well equipped with regard to vital facilities, sewage, electricity and drinking water, and the camp has a capacity of 2,660 tents."

At the end of the conference, they appealed to humanitarian and international organizations to provide a helping hand to the displaced and internally displaced people in the Serekaniye camp.
