On Tuesday, Abdul Wahhab Ahmad al-Rahhal, a displaced infant from Khan Sheikhoun city died due to severe cold in al-Jazira IDPs Camp in Atma cluster in Idlib northern countryside.

On Monday, two parents and their two children died of suffocation from the emissions of heating materials while they were sleeping inside their tent near Kafr Rumah town in Idlib countryside.

A child and an infant were severely burned also on Monday in a fire in a camp in Darat Izza town in Aleppo western countryside.

Low temperatures aggravated the suffering of the IDPs who have to endure dire conditions in inadequate makeshift tents.
