Initiating aid activities for Syrian refugees in refugee camp

2012.10.04

While the number of refugees increases in the Zattari camp every day, the supply of sanitation and safe drinking water aren’t keeping up with demand and diarrhea was rampant among children for a while.
Although people live in harsh environment, it’s possible to prevent them from suffering infectious diseases or diarrhea through keeping their living environment clean and safe.
That’s why JEN has established an administration committee and will support its operations so that people living in the camp could keep their environment including water sanitary facilities clean for themselves.
JEN has initiated aid activities in the Zattari camp, the largest refugee camp in Jordan for Syrian refugees since September.
JEN, working in a group of an international officer and two local staff members, provides on-site support for people in the camp to enhance their health and quality of life from hygiene standpoint.
