Concerns have mounted in displacement camps set up in northern Syria as cases of Delta variant have been increasingly reported in the area.
Medics have sounded alarm bells over the mismanagement of the health crisis by the concerned authorities and humanitarian institutions, calling for increasing vaccine doses allotted to the region. So far, no more than 7% have received their first dose of coronavirus vaccine.
Over recent months, AGPS has warned of an unabated 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 oxygen cylinders, medicines, and hygiene kit in order to help the displaced communities defend themselves against the highly-contagious virus.
