“The WHO: Kids die of cold in syrian refugee camps,”
“at Least 29 children, including infants, are reported to have died in a refugee camp in northeastern Syria in the last eight weeks. Most of them have died of the cold, according to the world health organization, which warns that the situation is critical for the 33 000 people.”
“Many of the refugees in al-Hol have walked on foot in the days after having fled the fighting in Deir al-Zor in eastern Syria. When they arrive at camp, they are malnourished and exhausted after having lived for years under the member IS control in Iraq. Tents, blankets and heat sources are missing in the harsh winter cold, according to a statement from the WHO.”
“WHO requires immediate access to the camp.”
