A year ago, devastating earthquakes struck Turkey and Syria, killing tens of thousands of people. Most of the 6,000 Syrian victims of the February 6, 2023 earthquakes died in Idlib province.
In Idlib, 800,000 displaced people were already living in makeshift camps before the disaster. They have been joined over the past year by around 100,000 more people, according to NGOs. “We are in tents or caravans, we are cornered by the mud and the cold. What we are experiencing is tragic,” says one survivor.
