The Palestinian refugees in southern Syria, Muzeireeb, Glenn, Tel Shehab, and other areas of Daraa governorate live in difficult and miserable health situation, four years of war were enough to collapse the medical system of hospitals, medical centers and cadres. The suffering increased because of the weak administration of the Opposition in the southern areas that the opposition controls and the not putting mechanisms for serving the residents on all levels. There is no any hospital or medical center in Daraa camp in addition to the lack of medical materials and equipment needed for first aid and the unavailability of ambulances to get the wounded out of the camp for treatment. Some activists warned from the spread of diseases among the residents specially that they are forced to drink from the contaminated water due to the water cut since about 876 days.
Field activists mentioned that the health-deteriorated situation in Syria is because of some reasons, most important that the Syrian Army prevents the entry of any type of medicines and medical equipment, in addition to bombing hospitals and this led to change the field hospitals into first aid centers due to the lack of support. Activists added that the doctors’ immigration led to close many medical centers because they are empty of staff in addition to the continuous clashes between ISIS and Opposition military groups that led to stop the movement of the families and the health staff. The Jordanian authorities also prevented the Palestinian refugees to enter its territories for treatment, which oblige some of them to fake names of Syrian residents. It is referred that AGS documented about 347 Palestinian refugees’ victims in Daraa governorate, who died since the beginning of the ongoing war in Syria, including 241 victims from Daraa camp.
