Sweida hospitals in Syria fight after sectarian clashes, which says

The World Health Organization (WHO) states that the main hospital in the southern Syrian city of Sweida had been overwhelmed by patients with trauma and worked without adequate power or water.

Christina Bethke told Journalists in Geneva through Damascus’s video link, that the situation worsened after the local Druze minority clashed almost two weeks ago with the Bedouin and government forces.

“Inside Sweida, it is a dark picture, with the health facilities under immense tension.

“Electricity and water are cut and the supplies of essential medicine are exhausted.”

Many members of the medical personnel cannot reach their security jobs in safety and the morgue of the main hospital was full at some point this week as it was in an increase in cases of trauma.

According to the Syrian network for human rights, at least 903 people were killed in the shedding of sectarian blood after the clashes between the Druze militias and the Bedouin tribes paid in fierce fights between the Druze forces and the government sent to repress the unrest.

The head of the net, Fadel Abdulghany, said that the toll is not definitive and that his group has documented on the field by Syrian troops, Bedouin tribal fighters and druze factions.

Although the WHO has managed to deliver two convoys of help, access remains difficult because the tensions remain among the groups that control various parts of the Sweida Governorate, he said.

More than 145,000 people have been displaced by recent fights, those who said, with many shelters in the improvised reception centers in Daraa and Damascus.
