Palestinians sheltered in Deraa Camp, Al-Muzeireeb, Gileen, and Tel Shehab have been grappling with deteriorating health conditions due to the unabated warfare rocking the Syrian territory for over five years.
Under-equipped hospitals and the absence of apt medical staff, coupled with an acute shortage in life-saving medicines and the lack of ambulances to evacuate the wounded civilians, have made the situation far worse in opposition-led areas in southern Syria.
Activists warned of the propagation of lethal infections and diseases among Deraa residents, who have been forced to drink contaminated water as water supplies to the camp have been cut off for 1,000 days.
Activists attributed the tragic situation in southern Syria to the tough cordon imposed by the government army on the area and the incessant onslaughts on local hospitals, along with the forcible displacement or death of medical staff members.
Bloody hostilities between ISIS militias and the opposition outfits have made the situation far worse.
The condition has also gone downhill as the Jordanian authorities prevented the Palestinian refugees from entering Jordan for urgent treatment.
