Amman, 27 July 2021 Children in Al Raqqa, North East Syria, are still living among ruins, with limited water, electricity, and access to education, four years after the city was taken from ISIS, according to a new report by Save the Children.
Thousands of people have returned or moved to Al Raqqa since the battle ended in 2017, and the report estimates that 270,000 330,000 people are currently living there. But levels of rebuilding and rehabilitation of housing remain low, with children living in constant fear of their homes collapsing on top of them. Earlier research[i] estimated that 36% of the city s buildings remained entirely destroyed.
Save the Children deeply distressed that five Rohingya refugees killed in heavy rain and landslides in Cox s Bazar - Bangladesh
