Displaced Syrian children cool off in a makeshift pool amid high temperatures, exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, at a camp for internally displaced persons in Zardana, in Syria’s northwestern Idlib province, controlled by warring jihadist rebels. against the government of Bashar al-Assad.
With only tents to protect them from the heat, the camp’s residents say “it feels like you are inside an oven, the heat is unbearable.”
“The situation inside the stores is miserable. The temperature outside the store is 45 degrees, but inside the store it is 47-48 degrees, especially for those who have a store and cook inside. There have been several cases of fainting newborn babies and take them to hospitals,” denounced a displaced person.
Ingenuity in the face of lack of means
And in the face of adversity and the lack of means, ingenuity remains, as explained by another displaced person.
“We came up with the idea of making an air conditioner so that the children do not suffer in these high temperatures. I made it from a barrel of junk without oil, and a fan from a junk car, a battery, and spraying water we made an air conditioner to cool the children with these high temperatures.”
