There was no snow in Za’atari Camp, but there was rain during the weekend which flooded the camp with damage. As usual every year, organizations, including JEN who is in charge of providing hygiene aid, are sending trucks to the victims of the flooding to pump out the sewage and are working hard to minimize the damage.

The rainy season is still continuing. JEN is continuing to support efforts to alleviate problems (especially related to raining) faced by the Syrian refugees, to prevent flooding in their residences and streets, and to prevent such damage from disturbing peoples’ lives.
