As a result of the large displacement rate the Syrian crisis has inflicted, the government, while focusing on recapturing towns and areas it had lost in battles with the rebels, has also focused on enhancing the displacement shelters to alleviate some of the suffering of those displaced.

After the recent militant groups attack against the Industrial Adra area in the countryside of Damascus, hundreds of families were allowed to flee the area after being trapped in underground shelters for over 20 days.

The Syrian government, in a bid to alleviate the displaced people's suffering, has opened the Dweir displacement shelter in another part of Adra.

The center was used before as a camping compound for students and has now become a home for 1,100 people, filling around 150 rooms.

According to the center's supervisor Jasem Mahmoud, each room is equipped with the necessary equipments and the center has also a clinic that offers basic medical care 24 hours a day with an ambulance on standby in case of an emergency.

The center also has classrooms to provide basic education for around 174 kids, residing in the center with their families. The teachers are also members of the displaced families who have diplomas, Mahmoud told Xinhua during its reporters' visit to the center.

Mahmoud said that the government has allocated around 100 workers for maintenance work and cleaning as the center also has a swimming pool.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has visited the same shelter a couple of days ago and he was quoted as saying that Syria was continuing its fight against foreign-backed militants and its efforts to "secure basic necessities for the displaced until they can return to their homes."

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said recently that "the situation in Syria has developed into a humanitarian disaster of appalling dimensions."

It said more than nine million Syrians are in need of urgent assistance, including 6.5 million people displaced inside their own country. Another 2.4 million people have fled Syria since January 2012. They are seeking refuge in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt.
