Dear NicNakNoe,
Having just been on a course I can give a suggestion but I do not know what is actually happening in Syria, or the actual practices currently being used.
There are such items called ' Bog in a Bag' and similar portable bags that are easy to carry, can be used any where and should be disposed of in a designated and protected area where it can be treated properly or left for year or two before it can be used as fertiliser.
One of the problems is that these are also know as flying latrines, as the temptation to throw them away, indiscriminately once used is apparently very high causing huge hygiene and contamination issues. So the establishment, advertisement and use of a protected designated disposal area is essential. Please note, I would appreciate any comments on the above suggestion. Best wishes Pauline R from REDR
