Damascus: Seven-day-old and two-month-old infants lost their lives in a refugee camp in the Syrian province of Idlib due to a severe cold.

The report said that the cold snap in Idlib has intensified over the past two weeks, with the deaths of 7-day-old and 2-month-old girls due to the cold weather highlighting the humanitarian crisis in Syria.
Muhammad Al-Hassan, the father of the seven-year-old girl, said: “My daughter Fatima died of cold in Al-Rahman Hospital. Touching her dead body made it feel like snow. It is not up to us to do anything.
Dr. Fadi Halq said that when Fatima was brought to the hospital, her color had turned blue while blood was also flowing from her nose and mouth. Unfortunately, she died due to a cold.
A two-month-old girl named Amina also died of a cold. The doctors of Rehman Hospital said that the color of this little girl had also turned blue.
It should be noted that 3 children have died of severe cold in the last two weeks in the Syrian refugee camp.
