A child dies of malnutrition at al-Rukban refugee camp

Homs, SANA- A child has died of malnutrition at the US occupation- besieged al-Rukban refugee camp in al-Tanf area on the Syrian-Iraqi borders where poor humanitarian conditions and lack of health care face the camp’s residents.

Local sources told SANA that in light of the siege imposed by the US occupation forces and their terrorist mercenaries on al-Rukban camp, the bad health conditions have worsened where a child has died amid fears of more diseases because of the lack of food and medicine.

The US occupation troops and terrorists detain thousands of displaced Syrians who live difficult humanitarian conditions and suffer from lack of food.
