Oleg O. Bilukha, MD, Douglas Jayasekaran, MS, Ann Burton, MBBS, et al.
MMWR 2014;63:1–3
An estimated 2.8 million refugees have fled Syria and reside in neighboring countries, mainly Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan, and Iraq. The largest Syrian refugee camp in the region is Zaatari camp in Jordan, with approximately 79,000 refugees; another estimated 500,000 Syrian refugees live in Jordanian cities, towns, and villages. To assess the nutritional status of women and child Syrian refugees, surveys were conducted in Zaatari camp and among refugees residing in the host community. Preliminary findings indicated a high prevalence of anemia in Zaatari camp among both children and women (48.4% and 44.8%, respectively). |
