Syria Response Coordination Group (SRCG) said displacement camps set up in and around Aleppo, north of Syria, are disaster areas.
In a report issued last Thursday about the situation in northern Syria, SRCG said that since 2012 the camps have been heavily damaged by torrential rainfall, resulting in movement restrictions and heavy material damage.
The group called on the international community and humanitarian institutions to take urgent action in order to assist displaced families taking shelter in substandard housing facilities set up in northern Syria and repair damaged infrastructure.
Last week, displaced Palestinian and Syrian families sheltered in Deir Ballout and AlMuhammadiya refugee camps, in northern Syria, have launched distress calls due to water floods from Efrin River.
The residents said the flow rate far exceeds the capacity of the river channel, resulting in water deluges in the poorly-equipped camps.
Pictures and videos circulated on social media show dozens of Palestinian refugees lying in the streets, without roofs over their heads, and children shivering of cold.
Over recent months, displaced Palestinian families in northern Syria have expressed concerns over their fate as a freezing winter season has engulfed the region.
Refugee families and activists have lashed out at the apathy maintained by UNRWA, the Palestinian Authority, and all other concerned bodies regarding their tragic situation.
Hundreds of Palestinian and Syrian families who have been forcibly deported to northern Syria have been grappling with an abject humanitarian situation as most of them have been taking cover in underequipped and over-crowded tents where neither power nor water supplies are available.
High rates of unemployment and lack of relief assistance have made the situation far worse for the displaced families.
