SYRIA-CONFLICT-WATER-REFUGEES

After 13 years of civil conflict, lack of international funding has severely undercut the provision of basic services such as water, waste disposal and sanitation in displacement camps in northwest Syria, according to the United Nations. More than five million people, most of them displaced, live in areas outside government control in Syria's north and northwest, according to the UN, many relying on aid to survive.
