Mogadishu (Sunatimes) An out break of diseases is reported in Al-Kharas refugee camp in Yemen, where hundreds of thousands of Somali refugees and asylum seekers are desperately camping after fleeing their country.

Chairman of the Somali elders in the camp, Osman Deman, told Bar-kulan that several people, especially children who have been relocated from Sana’a to Al-Kharas refugee camp succumbed to diseases like measles, which is becoming a life threatening disease among the children in the camp.

The chairman also noted that people moved from Sana’a could not stay in their new camp due to hot temperature and harsh weather condition in Al-Kharas camp, making live impossible in the camp.

Aid agencies working in the camp said they will improve health and the living conditions of Somali refugee living in Al-Kharas camp.
