Protest Against Dire Living Conditions in al-Houl Camp

Residents in al-Houl camp held a demonstration on Saturday hours after a new child was frozen to death in the camp amid shortage of services in the camp sheltering thousands refugees.

Activist Suhaib al-Hasakawi mentioned on his Facebook page that refugees in al-Houl Camp, held by the Self Governance, in the countryside of Hasakah protested against the poor services and negligence in the camp to which over 40 thousand refugees fled the fight in Deir Ezzor.

A 6-month infant from Mu Hasan town eastern Deir Ezzor died from bitter cold and lack of medical and health care in the camp.
