Syria: A Rare Glimpse into Al-Hol Camp “I see it as more of an outdoor prison,” said Ayla, a medical doctor who worked with Doctors Without Borders in Al-Hol camp more than a year ago. She used her visual art skills to help process some of the disturbing things she was seeing—violence, intimidation, and people living in miserable conditions behind barbed wire fences. Outsiders are rarely allowed access to the camp and video and photos are not permitted, so Ayla’s drawings offer a rare inside look. Sixty-four percent of the camp’s population are children, and half are younger than 12. People in Al-Hol are indefinitely and arbitrarily detained in the camp, in unsafe and unsanitary conditions with limited access to medical care. It’s a deteriorating situation for the approximately 53,000 people. #doctorswithoutborders #health #syria #illustration
