GENEVA: At least 84 people, two thirds of them children, have died since December on their way to al-Hol camp in northeastern Syria after fleeing Daesh in the Deir al-Zor region, the United Nations said on Friday.
"There are reports of 175 children having been hospitalised due to medical symptoms from severe acute malnutrition," Jens Laerke, spokesman of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), also told a news briefing, citing reports from UN agencies and aid groups on the ground.
