Ghafar

Ghafar () is a Syrian village located in Armanaz Subdistrict in Harem District, Idlib. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Ghafar had a population of 2090 in the 2004 census.The village is located in the Sahl al-Rouj / western Idlib countryside, near localities including Tannariyah and Tayyibat al-Ism. Agriculture is an important part of the local economy, with crops such as olives, wheat and vegetables grown in the surrounding farmland.

During the Syrian civil war, the countryside of western Idlib experienced significant displacement as fighting and airstrikes forced civilians from other parts of Syria to flee toward opposition-held areas near the Turkish border. As a result, informal camps and temporary settlements developed across the region, including in and around Ghafar.
