Residents of Jaramana camp for Palestinian refugees, in Rif Dimashq, continue to speak out against the absence of anti-coronavirus drives in the area.
Activists said no measures have been implemented at schools and public facilities to protect civilians and prevent further contaminations.
Schoolchildren are seen in crowds outside of their schools, most of them without masks.
Civilians have called for implementing strict precautionary measures and for distributing hygiene kit.
Confirmed coronavirus cases have been increasingly reported in Palestinian refugee camps in Syria, at a time when residents have been launching cries for help over the absence of hygiene kit and medicines.
Civilians continue to slam UNRWA’s apathy, saying urgent action is needed to save the displacement camps.
Over recent months, AGPS has also warned of a projected outbreak of COVID-19 in Palestinian refugee camps in Syria. Limited access to running water, pharmacies and medical facilities mean displacement camps are more susceptible to the spread of the highly infectious virus.
Displacement camps set up in northern Syria are especially vulnerable as most hospitals and medical facilities have been bombed, rendering them out of order.
