Coronavirus in Syria: How to deal with Covid-19 in a war zone? | DW News

War-torn Syria is about the one country least able to deal with the coronavirus. But a case was confirmed over the weekend, and Syrians are bracing themselves for a lockdown. A full-blown outbreak would have severe consequences because a decade of civil war has devastated the country's healthcare system.

The syrian people have been through enough. My thoughts are with them. Cant help where you are born think people forget that ....

[thenerdywalker]

My heart goes out for them. Can only imagine the trauma they've been through already. It doesn't help that the virus will probably spread more easily in the situation they in

[zero-pantsu-samus]

Nothing to smile about here... These are people as well; under a terrible government and a war that has broken them. My heart goes out for those poor civilians.

I would agree the white helmets are a real threat to Syria terrorists in clown costumes

[tiffanycayce]

Damn shame it takes a pandemic to get the Syrian ppl medical help when they have absolutely needed for a long time. I pray this virus does not hit that place it would be catastrophic and could cause a whole new wave of the pandemic to happen.

Honestly hate how Syria is viewed, I was born and raised in Syria and trust me it is much more than just dusty sandy ghost towns!

I had never seen so overcrowded camps before. This war must end.

U will never say that russia sent a navy ship full of ambulances and equipment

[rishibastakoti]

May God bless them with good health and peace
Amen

Don’t forget Obama, Sarkozy and Cameron freedom fighters bringing freedom for about 10 years in Syria now.

Their civil war put them in this position, prayers for syria

[veronicachristopher]

Wow thanks for this perspective. I've contemplated the homeless, developing countries, the poor. I admittedly didn't think of those in war zones. Now I am...how friggen sad. 😥

[Simpleone]

[rageagaintstheNWO]

I bet these "white helmets" are sparaying Sarin all over.

[emgex]

how can Corona come even to a warzone if the warzone and ppl there have no direct contact with ppl from outside???

[pamelaraney]

Look what men have done. Shame on you.

[Bloodysweet]

Now whole world hear the voice of crying child of Syria, corona is karma

[dicksimo]

White Helmets, are those the same western gov backed mercenaries that were fighting alongside IS etc?

[abualial-homsi]

أدت الأولوية في علاج المسلحين من فيروس كورونا في جسر الشغور إلى مسيرة بالقرب من المستشفى. قد يخرج الوضع عن السيطرة ... أتمنى ألا يبدأ المسلحون بإطلاق النار على المتظاهرين.
