Situation

• The number of new arrivals in the camp has decreased dramatically (222 over the last two weeks compared with over 37 000 between 1 December 2018 and 28 February 2019). However, it remains severely overcrowded. A total of 73 477 people are living in an area originally designed to hold 10 000.

• The severe overcrowding greatly increases the risk of communicable diseases. Compounding the situation, health care and other essential services are overwhelmed.

• Eight WHO-supported medical teams are working round the clock to provide health care services inside in the camp.

• The foreign annex still lacks adequate health care services (only one mobile clinic is operating in this area).

• During the reporting period 24 people died.
