The World Health Organization (WHO) has requested access to 210,000 displaced people who have fled fighting in southern Syria and are in urgent need of medicines and health services including the injured to evacuate. The UN agency said in a statement that with temperatures of up to 45 degrees Celsius, at least 15 Syrians, including 12 children, died last week because of the drought and diseases caused by water pollution.
Three of the four hospitals and public health centers in Deraa and Quneitra are closed or are not fully operational, said the organization.
"We call on all parties to open the door to the citizens of southern Syria and to allow them to have safe access to the medicines and medical supplies they need and to allow them to travel safely to hospitals. "
