More than 100 camps of displaced people, as well as nearly 400 tents, have been damaged in Syria as a result of flash floods over the past 48 hours, a monitor said on Sunday. Rescue teams have begun digging canals to drain the water caused by heavy rainfalls in several camps in Darkush, Kherbat Al-Juz, Sarmada, Maarrat Misrin and other areas, in northwestern Syria, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
