Many Syrian refugees are

                  facing a new threat :  Disease

150 Syrians are living in  makeshift camps

                              in Bekaa Valley for 4 months

    There are only two toilets

              –  that empty directly into an

                       irrigation ditch for a potato field

    Children bathe in the same ditch,

          most of them have diarrhea for months

    Sweltering heat  and insects growth

                         are worsening the conditions

Aid agencies are helping by :

    –  installing underground tanks

                                      to collect sewage

    –  chlorinating the water supply
