Situation
Atmeh hosts several clusters of tent cities near the Bab al-Hawa crossing with Turkey [Google Maps] It is the first day of Eid al-Fitr, an important feast for Muslims. But as we pass through Atmeh's giant tent city, there is no sign of Eid. Almost every boy has a toy gun or rifle in his hand, playing war games with the others. At an olive grove by the Turkish border, we find at least 300 families - about 1,500 people - mostly women and children. Like most of the recent IDPs, they have resided here since fleeing the April offensive. They are living under the olive trees, of which branches are wrapped with blankets and other materials to create shade. The roof over them is the sky. Everything is scarce. About 300 families are living under the olive groves of Atmeh [Al Jazeera] We are told by the camp manager that only one NGO delivered food during Ramadan. The supply was cut on the last day. But even the amount of the food that used to come through was not enough to feed them all.
