Residents of Jaramana Camp for Palestinian refugees, in Rif Dimashq, have called on the concerned authorities in Syria and UNRWA’s Health Department to provide the residents with anti-coronavirus vaccines.
The calls came following a decision by the Syrian Health Ministry to launch a widespread vaccination campaign to help combat the virus. Vaccines will be provided in Jaramana Camp starting Tuesday, November 23, at 10:00 a.m.
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. In Jaramana Camp alone, over 40 people have succumbed to the disease.
A few months earlier, AGPS warned of an unabated 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.
