New sandstorm hits Rukban camp (video)
A sandstorm hit on Sunday (JUan. 6) the al-Rukban camp for Syrian internally displaced persons (IDPs) near the Syria-Jordan border.

The sandstorm removed wedges of dozens of tents, leaving the IDPs in the open without any shelter, amid dire hygiene and life conditions.

Media activists have appealed to NGOs and to the UN organizations for help, saying they are living between the rock and the hard place.

Last Thursday, an infant died in the camp after her health deteriorated due to a hepatitis infection following delayed treatment in the UNICEF medical clinic.

Last year, several sandstorms hit the camp, pulling out tents and causing severe material damage.

Several civilians, including children died last year in al-Rukban camp because they was not allowed to be transferred to the hospital in Jordan to receive medical treatment.
