Concerns have mounted in Palestinian refugee camps set up across war-torn Syria as coronavirus cases have been increasingly reported.
Medical sources in Syria said deaths have been reported as a result of Omicron symptoms, including fever, sore throat, runny nose, cough, vomiting and diarrhea, which are the same symptoms.
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 and medicines in order to help the displaced communities defend themselves against the virus.
