Cooking is done by the prisoners themselves, provisions being
supplied by the administration. The quantities are the same as in the
other camps. The menu consists of: meat, bread, butter, cheese, lentils,
fresh vegetables, onions, rice, etc. The prisoners whom we interrogated,
either personally or through the medium of an interpreter, declared that
they were well fed. A little canteen, set up in a tent apart, provides
them with such small luxuries as tea, sugar, and so on, at a moderate
price. The prisoners get tobacco regularly. Each man has a plate, an
enamelled bowl, and a spoon.

_Dress._--The prisoners have all received a complete outfit. Their
clothing was clean and warm. The mending of linen and outer garments is
done by tailor prisoners, working in a tent provided for the purpose.
Their headdress is the fez or a red cap.

_Hygiene._--Drinking water is distributed everywhere throughout the camp
by means of pipes well supplied with taps. Water for washing purposes is
abundantly distributed to the lavatories, douches and bathing-places.

The prisoners do their washing in well-fitted wash-houses; a movable
furnace facilitates the weekly disinfection of all the prisoners'
effects.

The latrines, on the Turkish system, consist of movable tubs, emptied
each day by means of a "shadouf," and then disinfected with cresol and
whitewash. There are no smells in the camp.

_Medical Attention._--Dr. Ibrahim Zabaji, a Syrian refugee doctor,
undertakes the medical charge. His work is supervised twice a week by
Lieut.-Colonel Garner and Captain Scrimgeour.

There are 3 Turkish orderlies and 1 Coptic orderly.

The infirmary is clean and well appointed. It is sub-divided into 4
quarters: the consulting room, dispensary, sick ward and isolation ward.

The beds are iron with wire springs, the mattresses stuffed with
vegetable fibre, the number of blankets not limited.

All the men have been vaccinated against smallpox and cholera. We
learned from the infirmary registers that 30-40 men attend daily at 8
o'clock, the doctor's visiting hour.

The advanced age of many of the prisoners, who are suffering from
chronic affections, accounts for this large attendance.

The day we visited the infirmary it contained 8 patients: 3 cases of
malaria, 3 cases of bronchial pneumonia, and 2 cases of dysentery.

As soon as they arrived in camp 25 men were attacked with tertian
malaria; 15 are cured, 10 are still being treated with q
