The Department of Social Affairs estimates that 120,000 people were displaced from Al-Hasakeh city as a result of fighting from 25 to 30 June. As of 4 July, almost 35,000 of these internally displaced persons have been identified by humanitarian as sheltering in northern regions of Al-Hasakeh governorate.
No new displacement has been reported, and 16,000 people have returned to Al-Hasakeh city.
Humanitarian actors continue to monitor protection concerns following previous reports of lack of freedom of movement of civilians. Concerns were raised when some 6,000 IDPs were not permitted to move past a Kurdish manned checkpoint just north of Al-Hasakeh city without sponsorship from families in Amuda or Quamishli. Additionally, some IDPs which arrived to Gere Rash village and Roj camp were directed to move to the newly established Gere Rash/Tal Aswad IDP camp.
Humanitarian partners have reached more than 18,000 IDPs from Al-Hasakeh city in northern areas of Amuda,
Darbasiyah, Al-Malikeyyeh, Quamishli, Ras Al Ain, Tal Tamer and Ya’robiyah with some food, WASH, NFIs, health and protection assistance. As many as 15,000 people have been provided with food assistance in AlHasakeh city.The Al-Hasakeh governor’s office issued a decree on 1 July indicating that humanitarian assistance should be provided to no more than 15,000 IDPs from Al-Hasakeh city. It is understood by humanitarian actors that the decree is intended for the Quamishli city caseload.
