UNICEF Syria is deeply saddened by the death of Khozama Jamal Al-Ahmad, 37, in Suweida governorate, as a result of medical complications caused by insulin deficiency.
The organization said inDescription: “UNICEF is deeply saddened by the death of Khozama Al-Ahmad, and extends its deepest condolences and sympathy to her family and friends in this painful affliction.”
UNICEF added that Khuzama, a former humanitarian volunteer with the organization, “devoted her time and effort to helping children and communities,” noting that she was not performing this role at the time of her death last Saturday. “We honor her contributions and applaud her spirit of commitment to serving others,” the organization stressed.
Local media quoted medical sources as saying that insulin had decreased in quantity since the beginning of the siege imposed on As-Suwayda by the Interim Government forces a month ago, which warned of its danger to diabetic patients. Reports also indicated the death of a cancer patient in the western countryside of As-Suwayda a week ago due to the lack of doses of treatment, amid the continued denial of the Interim Government of the siege, from which the population suffers from shortages of water, electricity, fuel, food and medicine.
