Is social distancing to avoid coronavirus possible for a family of six sharing a small tent at refugee camps?
Things are much worse in northern Syria and Yemen as the countries are struggling following years of conflict. Displaced people in Northern Syria, near Turkish borders, are trying to live in tents while some have no means of putting a roof over their heads. It has been reported that over a million people rushed to the border in order to escape airstrikes orchestrated by Russia and the Assad regime.
Although the WHO is reported to be delivering the coronavirus test to the Syrian government, there has not been a delivery of test kits to the refugee camps. Medical staff working with the refugees in Northern Syria estimate that 100,000 to 120,000 could die due to the coronavirus while many could need intensive care.
After five years of conflict, the healthcare system of Yemen is near non-existent. Yemen has been beset by violence and chaos since 2014.Tens of thousands of Yemenis, including civilians, are believed to have been killed in the conflict since then, while another 14 million are at risk of starvation, according to the UN. People in the country are forced to flee their houses and live in unsanitary conditions.
