Palestinian refugees and Syrians have been battling with a searing summer weather. Those taking shelter in animal farms and in makeshift tents along the Jordanian-Syrian borders have been struggling for survival as an abrupt temperature hike rocked the area.
At the same time, several blackouts and cases of diarrhea have been reported in AlQuneitra due to the abrupt temperature surge.
Speaking with AGPS, activists from AlRukban Camp said the recent heat wave claimed the lives of two children. Nearly 100 residents, among them children, have also received urgent treatment.
Displaced Palestinians and Syrian alike continue to call for mercy from a hotter-than-normal air mass that has remained nearly stationary over the MENA region for weeks, stretching the capacity of electricity networks beyond limits.
Residents of Daraa Camp, home to hundreds of Palestinian families, have also launched cries for help after the water-feeding lake has dried out as a result of the uncontrolled excavation of artesian water wells. Underfunded relief endeavors have failed to cope with the heat as demand for water far exceeds the capacity to supply it.
Several Palestinian families in Daraa province who have sought shelter in dairy farms and sheep ranches, after their homes have gone ravaged in the unabated warfare, launched cries for help over their dire living conditions.
Having no place to run to or shelter to hide into, dozens of Palestinian refugees, who have been wondering down and out in streets, have turned to the uninhabitable Syrian-Libyan cattle farm as they hunted for a safer refuge for their traumatized children. Those taking refuge in the farm called on the UNRWA and all other concerned bodies to urgently step in and immediately work out the crisis.
Located in Gileen town, lying some 25 km away from western Daraa, the Syrian-Libyan dairy farm has been rocked by chronic power and water blackouts along with the propagation of lethal infections.
