Frequent shelling and clashes broke out in Daraa camp south of Syria since the beginning of the ongoing war, resulting in the destruction of almost 70% of its buildings, according to unofficial statistics. Meanwhile, the residents are living in severely dangerous humanitarian conditions; especially living and health aspects.
In terms of the health aspect, there is not any hospital or medical center in the camp, in addition to the acute shortage of medicines and medical materials and equipment that are required for the first aids, in addition to the lack of ambulances to transport the injured to receive treatment outside the camp. Furthermore, the SRA snipers impede the arrival of ambulances, and in case the residents successfully transferred a patient outside camp, moreover, Jordan refuses the entry of any Palestinian refugees from Syria even the injuries.
In light of this deteriorated health reality, a number of activists inside the camp have warned from the spread of diseases among the residents, especially for the fact that they have to drink polluted water because of the water cur for about 304 days.
In terms of the living aspect, the residents of Daraa camp are suffering of the power cut for long periods that may reach up to several consecutive days, as they also suffer of the lack of fuel and heating materials, in addition to the loss of many kinds of food supplies and its high prices. It is worth mentioning that the frequent shelling and the difficult living conditions forced the residents to leave the camp and resort to the adjacent towns.
