Having misused coal-burner stove | Family of eight injured in refugee camp in northern Idlib due to inhalation of toxic gas

Idlib province: SOHR activists have documented the injury of a displaced family of eight people: a man, his wife and their six children, in “Al-Kuwaiti” camp in the west of Harbanoush town in the northern countryside of Idlib, after having inhaled toxic gas produced from a coal-burner stove they used in their tent.

 

It is worth noting that most of families in north Syria region, especially in refugee camps, use unsafe and unhealthy heating materials and methods, such as coal, pyrene, used plastic objects and plastic bags, as the prices of heating materials have reached to a level unaffordable by the many.

 

On January 11, SOHR sources reported that three displaced civilians of one family: a woman and two of her children, were severely injured due to the explosion of a heater inside their camp in a makeshift camp in Birshaya village in eastern Aleppo countryside, where the injured people were taken to the hospital to receive proper medication.
