Syria's displaced hundreds of thousands stuck in camps as reconstruction stalls post-Assad
Following the fall of the Assad regime, hundreds of thousands of displaced Syrians in the northwest hoped to return home, but most remain in makeshift camps after finding their villages destroyed, France 24 reports. According to France 24, Syria has been particularly hard hit by the decline in global humanitarian aid, especially funding from the United States, leaving displaced populations without resources for reconstruction. Living conditions in the camps are deteriorating and vital infrastructure remains lacking, with reconstruction expected to take years.
