Fire injures IDPs in Hasaka countryside

Syrian internally displaced people (IDPs) were injured on Saturday night (February 23) in the Hasaka eastern countryside's al-Hool camp by an explosion of gas cylinders warehouse, local sources said. 

Sixteen people were variously injured by the explosion of the warehouse that is controlled by the SDF militia.

Fifteen wounded persons were transferred to al-Hikma hospital in the Hasaka. Four of them suffered from first-degree burns. 

Earlier on Saturday, 9 trucks carrying about 800 displaced persons reached from al-Bagouz town east of Deir ez-Zoor in the Hool camp, including ISIS' families, increasing the number to 32 thousand IDPs.
