Many Syrians have fled ISIL-controlled
Raqqa, only to find themselves in tough conditions in refugee camps. In
one camp in Ain Issa, more than 50 kilometers north of Raqqa, Syrians
are struggling through a sweltering summer in tents with no
electricity.
This Ain Issa camp has become home to
about 7,000 displaced people, according to local officials. And with
temperatures soaring as high as 50 degrees Celsius, the blistering
summer heat is taking its toll.
The SDF, backed by
US-led coalition air strikes, have captured around 30 percent of Raqqa.
As they continue to press forward, more civilians are expected to be
displaced.
