The Palestinian-Syrian Authority for Relief and Development confirmed that it prepared an ambulance, dedicated to the medical point in the Deir Balout camp, north Syria, with the aim of providing health care services to the Palestinians and Syrians forcibly displaced to northern Syria.
The Authority explained that this step came in light of the lack of medical services provided inside the camp, and the increase in health conditions that need to be transferred to hospitals, noting that it is providing all the medical supplies and medicines needed by the medical point in the camp.
On their part, the displaced expressed their concern over the lives of dozens of ill patients in the camp due to the poor medical services and the availability of only some, simple services that are not sufficient to maintain the lives of the patients, especially those with chronic diseases, such as heart and kidney disease, which require ongoing treatment. Two deaths have been recorded inside the camp, resulting from the lack of services and medical care. Palestinian refugee “Mohanad Sekhneny” died immediately of a heart attack.
On June 2, more than 100 children were affected by diarrhea due to high temperatures and the lack of potable water.
The Deir Balout camp, which is located near to Jandaris in Afrin, north of Syria, lacks many basic services, while the displaced people complain about the lack of water and food, coupled with the acute shortage of medical services.
