Idlib, Syria – Abdel Moneim Hamdo rushed his two children, one a toddler, to a hospital in the northwest Syrian city of Idlib after they complained of severe stomach aches that did not seem to resolve.
“I took my son and daughter to hospital to check whether they’d contracted cholera,” said Hamdo. He and his family — including his eight children — had moved from Atarib near Aleppo to the Al-Iman camp, close to Idlib, following the devastating earthquakes that struck the Turkey-Syria border region in February.
