Activists warned of the spread of diseases and epidemics in the Yarmouk Camp as a result of clogged sewers, while the specialists confirmed that the waste and human excreta gathering would lead to outbreaks of diseases such as typhoid and cholera, which threaten lives of those trapped civilians in the camp, especially the children.
