Qamishlo- The Turkish state has intensified its attacks on North and East Syria since October 23, targeting civilian infrastructure, including health centers and power plants, and civilians, killing 14 civilians and three members of the Internal Security Forces and injuring 53 civilians and 12 members of the Internal Security Forces.

Attacks target civilian infrastructure

Recalling that the Turkish state targeted civilian infrastructure in its attacks last year, Berivan Ömer, Deputy Co-chair of the Local Government Council of the Jazira Canton, said, “We have made great efforts to rebuild power plants and water facilities for a year. However, the new Turkish attacks have destroyed them again. Although the attacks continue, as the people of North and East Syria, we have the power to rebuild them; but we cannot bring back those who killed in the attacks.”

 ‘The attacks affect civilians’

The Turkish attacks are against civilians, posing a threat to the people of the region, Berivan Ömer emphasized. “The Turkish state targets North and East Syria, aiming at annihilate the people of the region. The attacks affects civilians, facing difficulties in accessing basic needs such as water and power.”

 ‘We must strengthen our solidarity’

 Berivan Ömer called on the people of the region to “protect their own future. In recent years, we have faced many challenges but our solidarity will enable us to overcome these challenges. There are committees working for 24 hours to provide water, food and power to the people. The unity of our people will give us strength in this difficult period. Therefore, we must strengthen our solidarity. We will overcome these challenges by being in solidarity with each other.”
