The population in the targeted areas suffers from problems with safe access to water services, as most people rely on buying water from tankers to meet their needs, but the sources used are not safe due to the lack of tests for the water source and the lack of chlorine added to purify the water. Diseases also spread in some areas as a result of a lack of hygiene facilities, which causes wrong health practices, such as the spread of open defecation or the use of unsafe places made of fabrics and the remains of tents to meet their needs, as a result of the fact that most of the bathroom blocks are out of service and need rehabilitation, and some of the camps need to build new blocks. The spread of water-related diseases was also observed due to the lack of safe disposal of organic and solid waste within the camps, in particular, and in the targeted areas in general.
