The shelling on Neirab camp on May 14 that saw 9 Palestinian refugees killed and others injured revealed the deterioration of health situation in the camp and the severe shortages of health services, medical supplies and specialized staffs, particularly doctors and medicines.
Residents were angry and upset by the inability of the medical center, which is run by Aleppo Health Directorate, to treat the injured.
One angry resident streamed a video in front of the medical center and talked about the poor quality health care the center provides and the inability of the center to treat the injured due to lack of specialist doctors and medicine, holding Aleppo’s governor and the director of health responsible for this negligence and the disregard for the life of people.
He also called on camp residents to lodge a formal complaint with the concerned authorities in order to provide the center with specialist doctors and essential medicines.
The video showed a number of people carrying the injured and running to the center as there is not enough ambulances.
Due to the ongoing war in Syria, the suffering of Neirab camp residents began to surface with the migration of its residents - especially working medical staffs and doctors. According to AGPS, the number of immigrant doctors reached 17 out of 22, that is, the camp is left with only five doctors and a number of nurses. It is noting that there were 17 specialized clinics providing medical service in Neirab camp before the start of the Syrian crisis.
