S/2018/369 18-06043 5/20 of Aleppo Governorate, which responded through counter-attacks, both of which led to casualties. 11. The humanitarian situation for those displaced in Idlib is extremely dire, with almost 400,000 people displaced owing to fighting that has taken place since December 2017. Camps for internally displaced persons continue to operate at up to 400 per cent of capacity. While around 168,000 of those previously displaced have now returned to their original subdistricts, the capacity to respond remains severely overstretched, as an additional 50,000 displaced people have recently arrived in the area from eastern Ghutah and Qadam. 12. The south-western part of the country also saw renewed violence, including government air strikes and artillery shelling, as well as repeated clashes between government forces and non-State armed opposition groups in Dar‘a Governorate. Reports that both government forces and non-State armed opposition groups had reinforced their positions with additional equipment and personnel were received by the United Nations. Meanwhile, government sources reported on local agreements being reached in multiple villages and towns in the area. 13. An estimated 98,200 people had returned to Raqqah city as at 29 March. While public services are slowly returning, with bakeries having reopened, the city lacks electricity and mobile communications; water is only pumped at a very limited capacity to the outskirts of the city. There are currently three functional health-care facilities inside Raqqah city. On 21 and 22 March, the United Nations conducted a security assessment of Raqqah city, noting the persistence of considerable risks despite relative calm and stability. The widespread presence of explosive hazards, including unexploded ordnance, landmines and improvised explosive devices, throughout the city has continued to pose a significant risk to civilians as well as to humanitarian workers. Health actors are continuing to see an average of more than 200 blast-related civilian injuries and deaths per month. The systematic survey, marking and subsequent removal of explosive hazards is a precondition for the safe return of civilians, as well as the safe delivery of humanitarian aid. The United Nations security assessment mission concluded that a humanitarian assessment mission could deploy (in early April). 14. Fighting against ISIL continued. ISIL continued to retain a presence east of Dayr al-Zawr city (around the towns of Albu Kamal and Mayadin), in Hasakah Governorate, and in the Damascus suburb of Yarmouk. ISIL also expanded its control over parts of the nearby Qadam neighbourhood of Damascus and negotiated an exchange of prisoners and deceased fighters with government forces. 15. The Department of Defense of the United States of America publicly reported that, in March, the coalition led by the United States had carried out at least 32 strikes against ISIL targets: 30 reported in the Governorate of Dayr al-Zawr and 2 reported in the Governorate of Hasakah. 16. On 4 March, the Ministry of Defence publicly reported that, in response to shelling with mortars on residential areas and military positions in Damascus and Rif Dimashq, the Syrian Arab Army had taken over several areas in the previous 48 hours, including Utaya, Hawsh al-Salihiyah, Hawsh Kharabu, Nashabiyah, Hazrama and Bayt Nayim farms. The Ministry then stated on 16 March that the Syrian Arab Army had taken over a large number of cities in eastern Ghutah, including Nashabiyah, Salihiyah, Bayt Nayim, Muhammadiyah, Hawsh al-Ash‘ari, Shaffuniyah, Bayt Siwa, Hamuriyah, Mudayra and Misraba
