Tents have been flooded with water as torrential downpours have swamped Palestinian refugee camps in Afrin, north of Syria.
Dozens of displaced Palestinian families have been taking refuge in ramshackle and poorly-equipped tents set up in the area.
The families continue to sound distress signals over the dire humanitarian conditions they have been facing owing to the absence of vital services and relief assistance.
Pictures and videos circulated on social media showed dozens of tents as being swamped by rain deluges while children appear to be shivering of cold.
Hundreds of Palestinian families have been struggling for survival in the poorly-equipped Deir Ballout and Muhammadiya camps, after they were forced out of Yarmouk and southern Damascus towns. For many displaced Palestinian refugees, the perils of winter weather add to the torment already experienced throughout the conflict.
