The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said it has organized six child friendly spaces with psychosocial activities in the Ain Issa camp in the Raqqa Governorate on Syria.
UNICEF said it was also providing recreational and educational kits to enable children to resume their learning as soon as possible, adding that some 455 children in the camp are attending psychosocial support programmes. The camp is currently housing some 6,600 internally displaced people who fled the violence in the area as fighting intensifies against ISIL forces.
UNICEF said over 200,000 people, almost half of whom are children, have been displaced between November 2016 and June 2017 fleeing the ongoing fighting in Raqqa. Most of them are living in the harsh conditions of desert camps in Raqqa and Hassakeh Governorates.
UNICEF said children in the area have lived through horrific experiences. Many have lost their friends, and some have even witnessed the killing of their family members. The Fund said some children have never seen the inside of a classroom and for many others school is a distant memory.
UNICEF said it was also working with its partners to provide safe water, nutrition supplies and clothing kits for displaced children and their families.
