Mousa Abdel Moneim al-Nouri al-Hamadi, the 18-year-old young man, along with Abdul Bari Abdel Moneim al-Nouri al-Hamadi, aged 8, and Issa Abdel Moneim al-Nouri al-Hamadi, aged 7, were displaced from the city of al-Latamna in the northern countryside of Hama.

This unfortunate event highlights the perilous conditions faced by displaced people, compounded by the recent rainstorm that damaged numerous tents in various camps across the Idleb and Aleppo countryside.

The response from humanitarian organizations has been insufficient, exacerbating the already challenging living conditions for these vulnerable populations. The recent rainstorm further intensified the plight, causing significant damage to tents and compounding the difficulties faced by those residing in the affected areas.
