Nine out of ten people living in the squalid camps for the internally displaced in north-west Syria have been made homeless multiple times, according to a new survey, the Guardian reports.
According to the survey, the Syrian civil war forced an estimated 1.8 million people into 1,420 camps within Syria.
The survey of 263 internally displaced families in north-west Syria found that 92 per cent of internally displaced households had been made homeless multiple times since the conflict began.
Two-thirds (64 per cent) had been displaced between four and seven times, while 23 per cent said they had been displaced eight times or more.
