Situation Overview
Ongoing hostilities in Manbij, particularly around the Tishreen Dam, have resulted in over 413,000 people in Manbij and Kobani being deprived of water and electricity for more than 20 days. The Tishreen Dam has remained non-operational since the conflict on December 10. Additionally, an alternative solution to provide electricity from Aleppo has failed due to damage to the power line during clashes.
As of 29 December, a total of 183 sites including municipal buildings, schools, mosques, stadiums, and residential buildings are being utilized as reception sites and Emergency Collective Centers (ECCs) to accommodate people throughout all areas of Northeast Syria (NES). These sites are currently hosting 25,005 individuals. NGOs on the ground are assessing these locations to verify the number of individuals staying there, and are providing assistance based on the resources and funding available to them.
