Meanwhile, an awareness campaign, organized by the Yarmouk refugee youth and Babilla youth activists in partnership with Dr. Abu Omar and the volunteer surgical staff members at the Civil Hospital, kicked off in Palestinian refugee schools in the southern region.
The campaign warned of the propagation of lice infections and jaundice and raised awareness about good hygiene habits. Among 254 sampled patients 128 cases caught lice infections and 15 others caught scabies. Medics said efforts have been ongoing to examine a larger number of children and provide them with the appropriate cure.

The Syrian regime squads have also kept a tight rein on the camp, blocking civilians exit from/entry into the area and cutting off power and water supplies to the camp.
