It is worth noting that more than 135 families from the people of Bulbul sub-district and the nearby villages live in rented houses in the city of Afrin because they were prevented from returning to their homes in the district center and its villages by Turkish-backed militias, and therefore these families have remained in the city of Afrin to date. Meanwhile, their houses were seized by IDPs from Homs, including about 600 Turkmen families, in addition to IDPs from Hayyan town.
