The health department chief in northern Syria said a clinic will be established in the near future to provide much-needed healthcare services for displaced families sheltered in Deir Ballout and AlMuhamamdiya camps, north of Syria.
The official added that an ambulance will be dispatched to the area to transfer patients to and back from the camps.
Syrian and Palestinian refugees sheltered in the displacement camps of AlMuhammadiya and Deir Ballout, in the northern Syrian province of Aleppo, continue to grapple with squalid conditions due to the absence of vital services, particularly healthcare.
At a time when coronavirus continues to claim the lives of thousands of people in the region and the world, only one clinic has been operative in the area, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Patients and emergency cases cannot be taken outside the camps as no ambulance in available in the area.
For many displaced Palestinian refugees, the perils of coronavirus add to the torment already experienced throughout the conflict.
High rates of unemployment and lack of relief assistance have made the situation far worse for the displaced families.
