Extreme cold kills 3 Syrian girls
(MENAFN- Arab News) Beirut: Three small girls and an elderly man have died in Syria in the past 24 hours due to bitterly cold temperatures and a week-long storm a monitoring group said Sunday.
'A girl less than two days old passed away (Sunday) in the southern Aleppo district of Firdous because of the extreme cold' said Syrian Observatory for Human Rights director Rami Abdel Rahman.
'An elderly man from the Maghayir district of Aleppo died as a result of the poor weather and because he had no heating' said the Observatory.
Another small girl aged just one died in the southern Damascus district of Al-Hajar Al-Aswad on Saturday night while the extreme cold also caused the death of a girl in Deir Al-Asafir a town east of the capital.
Since last Wednesday six people have died across Syria as a result of freezing temperatures.
All the victims lived in areas under opposition control where shortages of food heating and medical equipment are rife.
In besieged Yarmuk of southern Damascus a man died of 'poor living conditions and a lack of medicines and necessary treatment' said the Observatory.
