Four residents of Deraa Camp for Palestinian refugees succumbed to coronavirus after they quarantined themselves at home.
Confirmed coronavirus cases have been increasingly reported in Deraa Camp, at a time when residents have been launching cries for help over the absence of hygiene kit and medicines.
Civilians continue to sound distress signals over the absence of health services and life-saving medical kit. Most of the clinics and medical centers in the area have gone out of operation in the warfare. Dozens of sick and elderly civilians face mountainous journeys trying to reach AlKashef area for treatment.
Civilians continue to slam UNRWA’s apathy, saying an urgent action is needed to save the displacement camps.
Over recent months, AGPS has warned that the outbreak of COVID-19 in Palestinian refugee camps in Syria would be catastrophic. Limited access to running water, pharmacies and medical facilities mean displacement camps are extremely 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.
