“Al-Rukban camp” suffering | Fetus dies of inadequate health care and drugs shortage

SOHR sources in Al-Rukban camp in the Syrian desert at Syria-Iraq-Jordan border triangle have reported that a woman in the eighth month of pregnancy had lost her fetus due to catastrophic health conditions in the camp besieged by regime forces and Iranian-backed militias.

Here are further details obtained by the Syrian Observatory, the woman from Al-Qariatayin village suffered a few days ago from sudden overheating then she went to “the only midwife in the camp.”

The midwife said that the woman need for special medication as she was eight months pregnant and should put a serum, but the lack of medication needed in the primitive pharmacies in the camp and the lady’s husband’s inability to bring drugs smuggled to the camp, led to the fetus’s death.

On May 30, Russian and regime forces and Iranian-backed militias continue their strict siege on Al-Rukban camp in the Syrian desert, near the Iraq-Syria-Jordan border triangle for the 24th consecutive day. Meanwhile, SOHR sources reported that two families left Al-Rukban camp in the past few hours, heading to regime-controlled areas in Homs province in light of the noticeable increase in basic products and lack of medicine in the camp.

 

Like many families and individuals who left the camp, these two families had no guarantees protecting them from regime repression and arbitrary arrests.

Accordingly, the number of families which have left Al-Rukban camp since early May has reached 28.
