  • Nutritional Situation Among Syrian Refugees Hosted in Iraq, Jordan, and Lebanon: Cross Sectional Surveys S
    Hossain et al. Conflict and Health (2016) 10:26 DOI 10.1186/s13031-016-0093-6 RESEARCH Open Access Nutritional situation among Syrian refugees hosted in Iraq, Jordan, and Lebanon: cross sectional surveys S. M. Moazzem Hossain1, Eva Leidman2*, James Kingori1, Abdullah Al Harun1 and Oleg O. Bilukha2 Abstract Background: Ongoing armed conflict in Syria has caused large scale displacement. Approximately half of the population of Syria have been displaced including the millions living as refugees in neighboring countries. We sought to assess the health and nutrition of Syrian refugees affected by the conflict. Methods: Representative cross-sectional surveys of Syrian refugees were conducted between October 2 and November 30, 2013 in Lebanon, April 12 and May 1, 2014 in Jordan, and May 20 and 31, 2013 in Iraq. Surveys in Lebanon were organized in four geographical regions (North, South, Beirut/Mount Lebanon and Bekaa). In Jordan, independent surveys assessed refugees residing in Za’atri refugee camp and refugees residing among host community nationwide. In Iraq, refugees residing in Domiz refugee camp in the Kurdistan region were assessed. Data collected on children aged 6 to 59 months included anthropometric indicators, morbidity and feeding practices. In Jordan and Lebanon, data collection also included hemoglobin concentration for children and non- pregnant women aged 15 to 49 years, anthropometric indicators for both pregnant and non-pregnant women, and household level indicators such as access to safe water and sanitation. Results: The prevalence of global acute malnutrition among children 6 to 59 months of age was less than 5 % in all samples (range 0.3–4.4 %).

To observe dry and wet periods and the severity and length of drought monthly rainfall data of 15 meteorological stations of the north- ern Iraq provinces from 1979 to 2013 were used. Calculations were performed on the SPI by using the SPI code in MATLAB computer software. The results of the study showed that the continuity of dry periods in the 6, 9 and 12 month periods was higher than in the 1 and 3 month time intervals.

AL–HASNAWI3 1Faculty of Engineering, University of Kufa, Iraq 2Remote Sensing Center, University of Kufa, Iraq 3Faculty of Education for Girls, University of Kufa, Iraq ABSTRACT This research aims to study the variation in water quality during four seasons of year 2012–2013 for Husseiniya stream. This stream is a branch of Euphrates river in Iraq. It passes through Karbala Governorate and serves as a source for different purposes in this region. Canadian Water Quality Index (CWQI) method was used to for the classification of this stream for domestic, irrigation, and aquatic uses during winter, spring, summer, and autumn seasons. This method is classified as relative subindex technique that depends on water quality standards; therefore, water quality parameters were adopted in this method, which were taken from different international standards. These parameters were temperature, turbidity, total dissolved solids, hydrogen power, total hardness, sulphates, chlorides, lead, cadmium, aluminium, and coliform bacteria. In CWQI method, the parameters of Husseiniya stream during the four seasons were compared with their optimum (desirable) and maximum (permissible) standards. It was found that there was clear variation in the classification of CWQI between the two ways. From other side, the seasonal behaviour for this stream was not clear during the study period for all parameters and for all uses. Keywords: Canadian Water Quality Index, Euphrates river, Husseiniya stream.
