Syria: Risks of COVID-19 in Refugee Camps and Prisons
Northeast Syria, where more than 3 million people are currently living in refugee camps, reported its first case of COVID-19 on July 9, 2020.
3 There are reports that the virus has been spreading rapidly through camps in the country’s northwest regions.
4 At the Atmeh refugee camp, one of the largest in northwest Syria, at least 40 percent of people tested have COVID-19. Given that testing is not yet widely available there, the real number is expected to be even higher.
The refugee camps are especially vulnerable to a COVID-19 outbreak given their crowded conditions, lack of access to essential services, and ill-equipped health care facilities all factors that will exacerbate the crisis.
