Civilians in the conflict zone continue to be at risk owing to the extremely poor security conditions there, the ICRC said in a statement adding that the few remaining medical facilities in the area, all makeshift, have been directly affected by the fighting, with both staff and patients killed and wounded in recent days.

Along with the acute shortage of vital medical supplies, unsanitary conditions greatly increase the risk of wound infections. The ICRC has been striving relentlessly to increase the amount of urgently needed medical supplies and sanitation equipment reaching the trapped population,” ICRC said
