Infant Dies in Rukban In the Wake of Siege

A baby died in al-Rukban Camp on Thursday morning due to shortage of medicine and refusal to enter Jordan.

al-Jisr TV reporter said that an infant died in al-Rukban Camp after her health deteriorated after Joradanian officials refused to allow her in for treatment.

The number of deaths in the camp had increased to 24 persons including 6 children in one month and a half, as Jordan refuses to receive them for treatment pressured by Russia, the source added.
