According to the decision taken by the Raqqa Civil Council and the Autonomous Administration of Northern and Eastern Syria, refugees were housed in 4 camps in the Raqqa countryside. Refugees are sent to Ednaniyê, Selhebiye Şerqiye, Reşîd and Rehiyat camps.

Raqqa Civil Council and Autonomous Administration took this decision after closely following the problems and suffering of refugees who had settled in 53 irregular camps. Most of the camps were located near garbage dumps, and some were located near cemeteries. There was no sewage network or drinking water in those camps. Additionally, children didn’t receive education due to the lack of educational centers in the irregular camps.

Due to the lack of health services in these camps, many diseases are spreading among refugees, especially affecting children. The Social Affairs Committee confirmed that refugees will be placed in regular camps so that they can receive better healthcare.

Speaking to ANHA, Raqqa Civil Council Social Affairs Committee Office Director Mihemed Bekir said: "First of all, we met with the refugees in the irregular camps and explained the problems. We told them the importance of the transition from these camps to regular camps. The transfer of refugees to the organized camps will not take place immediately, but in several stages. Families will be placed according to the facilities of the camps. Refugees staying in Til Bêa, Herqele, Rebîa, Yarub, Mezyûne, Xeyale and Sehlet El Benat camps will be transferred to Ednaniyê Camp."

Raqqa Civil Council built Ednaniyê Camp at the beginning of this year. 3 thousand families live in the camp, built on an area of 650 decares. The sewerage and drinking water networks of the camp have been prepared.

Bekir said that 300 families from Sehlet El Benat Camp were settled in Ednaniyê Camp in mid-September.

Last month, the Social Affairs Committee transferred 25 families to Ednaniyê Camp, after its infrastructure was completed. These refugees consist of families that were deported by Lebanon and moved to the Autonomous Administration regions.
