In case you missed it, the Washington Post has a great
article today on the situation in Za'atari.
While things are getting bad there, we hear that the humanitarian situation is even worse in Syria. In addition to security deteriorating in various parts of the country, we hear of shortages of food and clean water. Also, the
Syrian pharmaceutical industry either has collapsed, or is unable to distribute medications to the South (many of the plants are located in the north, around Aleppo). Regardless of cause, we hear that there are no medications to buy in Syria. People in Za'atari have come to the clinic seeking medication refills for epilepsy and diabetes to send back to relatives in Syria.
