The residents of Der’aa camp south of Syria are still suffering because of the shelling and repeated clashes since the beginning of the ongoing war. According to unofficial statistics, the clashes and shelling resulted in the destruction of about 70% of the buildings, while the remaining refugees are suffering of serious humane conditions, the thing that reflected negatively on health and living aspects.
In terms of health aspect, there is any hospital or medical center inside the camp, in addition to a severe shortage of drugs, and medical equipment materials, first aid supplies, in addition to the lack of ambulances to transport the injured to receive treatment outside the camp. Meanwhile, the regular army snipers impede the arrival of ambulances, and in case residents managed to transfer one of the patients outside the camp, Jordan refuses the entry of any Palestinian refugees from Syria even the injuries.
Within this deteriorated health reality, a number of activists inside the camp warned of the spread of disease among people, especially with having to use contaminated drinking water due to the water cut for about 367 days.
