NGO Warns of Unabated Coronavirus Outbreak in Northern Syria Displacement Camps

The Syria Response Coordinators group has raised alarm bells over a new COVID-19 wave slated to hit displacement camps set up in northern Syria.

40 new coronavirus cases have been confirmed in northern Syria camps, the highest daily rate recorded since the outbreak of the second coronavirus wave. So far, 2,489 people have tested positive for the virus in the area.

Over recent months, AGPS has warned of a projected outbreak of COVID-19 in Palestinian refugee camps in Syria, where limited access to running water, pharmacies and medical facilities means 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.

AGPS stresses the need to supply Palestinian refugee camps with medicines, detergents, and disinfectants in order to help the displaced communities defend themselves against the deadly COVID-19 virus.

AGPS is deeply concerned that the lack of transparency maintained by the Syrian government regarding the pandemic will result in a catastrophic situation in displacement camps, at a time when the deadly virus continues to claim the lives of thousands of people across the globe.
