The medical teams operating in Al-Rukban camp for displaced people on the Jordanian-Syrian border recorded the spread of Hepatitis A among the residents in the camp, in addition to the severe diarrhoea recorded in a large number of people, especially the children.

According to information from the camp, about 3,000 cases of severe diarrhoea have been recorded among children, while about 900 cases of hepatitis A have been recorded.

Some 100,000 displaced people in the camp live in poor living and climatic conditions. Displaced people suffer from lack of drinking water, with high temperatures in the camp in an arid desert region.
