Most of these people have no shelter at all, while about 20,000 are sleeping under trees to protect little of the relief.
At least six children are reported to have died of irritability in recent days, based on the International Rescue Committee's data. One family was found dead in the snow after failing to find refuge.

The new humanitarian crisis in this part of Syria came after the offensive of government troops of the notorious dictator Bashar al-Assad, who are attacking the rebels with the help of the Russian army.
