Hussein Al Wardah,
Camp manager, Deir Hassan
00:20 – 00:31
People were forced to flee their homes.


Camp manager
Hussein fled Al-Habeet
in southern Idlib province
along with most of the town’s inhabitants










We came to these mountains hoping that they’d be safer than our areas.






00:48 – 00:55
But even here we feel we could come under attack. Airstrikes don’t discriminate between children and adults.




Almost 1 million people
have been displaced in
northwestern Syria
over the past three months








Abdulla Khatouf, nurse and displaced person
00:20 to 00:28


The camp has no sanitation, no health care and no proper road.

00:29 to 00:34


It’s muddy here and diseases like scabies are widespread. You see people with lice.








00:34 to 00:41


Because of the poor sanitation, there are lots of infectious diseases around.








00:49 to 00:51


We have 150 cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis.




Most of the displaced people
living in the settlement
fled their homes
almost 10 months ago












01:20 – 01:40
On the news and on social media, we see how the whole world is concerned about a disease from China and is taking precautions to stay safe from it.


Camp manager


01:41 – 01:51
We have diseases here that are more difficult.




The Deir Hassan camp is overcrowded with more than 100,000 people living there










01:13 to 01:21


We have elderly people with chronic diseases who have no drugs and no way of getting hold of them.

MSF is planning to step up
its medical assistance in northwestern Syria and to provide people with essential relief items










02:45 – 02:59
With four or five families sharing a tent, conditions are unhygienic.


Camp manager


03:00 – 03:16
We hope that people will be provided with enough tents and with healthcare. We need mobile clinics to check up on all the people who are sick.




MSF asks the Turkish authorities
to facilitate the transit
of staff and essential supplies
