Due to the spread of infectious diseases, during the period of World War I, 3760 prisoners died in the camp.[4] Of these 2471 were Romanians (most of these deaths occurred in 1917) and 1289 were Russians (the majority of deaths occurred in 1915 although these were more spread out than those of the Romanians). At the beginning of 1918 Polish prisoners were also held in the camp.[5]
