A video filmed by our Observer shows displaced people living in a camp in northwest Syria storming and looting a warehouse containing humanitarian supplies after the sudden death of a baby in the camp. The baby’s parents say he died of cold because of a lack of humanitarian assistance, an allegation rejected by some doctors, aid workers and officials.

Our Observer in Azaz (located 50 km to the north of Aleppo) sent us a video showing displaced people living in a makeshift camp storming and looting a warehouse stocked with humanitarian supplies like blankets and mattresses.

This incident took place the morning of February 24, 2023, just a few hours after a family discovered their seven-month-old baby, Zuhair Othman, lifeless in their tent.

Mohamed Othman said that he woke up shortly after 6am and discovered that his baby was dead. A haunting video, first posted on Facebook on March 2, 2023, shows Othman, still in shock, carrying the lifeless body of his child.
