The Kurdish Red Crescent called for support for northern and eastern Syria  

Heyva Sor stated on its official website that Turkey has been bombing civilian infrastructure since 4 October 2023 and that the region is heading towards a humanitarian catastrophe, calling for support for the people of northern and eastern Syria.

The Kurdish Red Crescent said in its statement: “Turkey has bombed more than 150 targets so far: Much of the region’s vital infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed in a matter of hours. Turkey’s attacks have so far caused dozens of civilian deaths and injuries and destroyed 80 percent of civilian infrastructure, including water and power supplies, hospitals, residential areas, schools, oil fields, factories and warehouses. Hundreds of thousands of people have been cut off from electricity and water supplies for days now.”

Heyva Sor reported that the Covid hospital in Derik, one of the most important hospitals of its kind in the region, had been completely destroyed by Turkish air strikes. It said that many other health facilities had also been destroyed, hospitals cut off from electricity and cold chains broken, adding that there were calls for blood donations. Heyva Sor warned in its statement that the humanitarian situation is expected to worsen and the death toll to rise as the Turkish attacks continue. Noting that the Kurdish Red Crescent is providing vital humanitarian assistance on the ground, the organization called for donations to support Heyva Sor a Kurd’s work.
