Over the past month, the organization’s health centers have recorded more than three thousand cases of acute respiratory infections and one thousand two hundred cases of diarrhea among the returning children. The save the children continues to explain that the returnees’ exposure to dust and their living conditions in overcrowded and smoky shelters are contributing factors to the severe respiratory infections.
