A free medical day was staged by the Popular Action Commission for the residents of AlSayeda Zeinab Camp for Palestinian refugees, in Rif Dimashq.
A seminar held by medics as part of the event raised civilians’ awareness about healthy food habits.
Four medical specialists took part in the event and provided bone pain check-ups and diabetes diagnoses. Patients received free medicines. Dr. Mohamed Sharkawi delivered a presentation about healthy nutrition and held a workshop to sensitize children to the dangers of ready-made food
Over 25 Palestinian refugees have been diagnosed with cancer in AlSayeda Zeinab Camp, in Rif Dimashq.
On February 9, a 40-year-old Palestinian refugee succumbed to a lung cancer that infected his body. Other cancer-stricken patients have been left without treatment.
The propagation of deadly tumors has been attributed to the pollution overwhelming war-torn Syria and the spread of war remnants and toxic contaminants across residential neighborhoods. The poor hygiene has made Palestinian refugee camps a fertile ground for life-threatening germs and diseases.
Sick Palestinian refugees in Syria have faced enormous difficulties trying to secure treatment fees in an area that has been struck by poverty and unemployment.
AlSayeda Zeinab Camp, held by the Syrian government forces and their affiliated popular committees, has been gripped with dire socio-economic conditions as a result of the high rates of unemployment. Scores of civilians have fled the camp while others have been forced to join pro-government battalions.
