Baghouz: The al-Hol displacement camp in north-eastern Syria, where some 65,000 people currently reside, is struggling with the number of people arriving each day, according to the camp administrator.
Many of those living in the camps are relatives of Islamic State group militants who fled the last battles between the extremists and U.S.-backed forces in the area.
Administrator Rojhat Maydani said the camp is receiving some 2,000 people a day, and they are struggling to accommodate everyone due to a shortage of tents and other resources.
Maydani said the large volume of people has created an "emergency situation".
"We have already mobilised all of our human, financial and security resources for the refugees but we are still really struggling and we are exhausted," he said.

At least 100 people, mostly children, died en route to al-Hol or shortly after arriving due to a combination of malnutrition and hypothermia, according to the International Rescue Committee.
Several refugees at al-Hol said they fled their homes out of fear of the Iran-backed militias fighting on the side of the Baghdad government.
