Social media pages covering the situation in AlNeirab Camp denied claims that potable water is contaminated in the camp.
Over recent years, residents of AlNeirab Camp said water has been contaminated by sewage, causing it to become foul and salty.
The General Water Company in Aleppo said efforts have been ongoing to control water tanks and ensure drinking water standards are safely implied.
AlNeirab camp is the largest official camp in Syria and is 13km east of the city of Aleppo near the Aleppo airport.
Before the start of the conflict in Syria, Neirab camp was home to more than 20,000 Palestine refugees. With nearly 18,000 registered refugees, Neirab camp is among the most densely populated camps. The camp suffers from overcrowding and a lack of privacy. Like other areas in Syria, displacement, unemployment, inflation, protection and security risks are among the main concerns shared by Palestine refugees and Syrians alike.
Poor shelters and poor construction of the barracks result in scorching temperatures in summer and freezing conditions in winter. Water leakage and rodent infestation also remain a problem for the refugees.
