A number of children were poisoned and suffocated in al-Hawl Camp in Hasaka eastern countryside after having doses of hypnotic substances by smugglers at the camp controlled by US occupation- backed Qassad militia.

Sources inside the camp said that more than 25 children have been poisoned and suffocated after they were given extra doses of sleeping pills in preparation to smuggle them through water tankers or wooden boxes outside the camp which has been witnessing a continued deterioration of the situation of its residents due to severe shortage of water and food materials, in addition to unhealthy conditions which led to the spread of diseases among them, especially the children.
