Missing 20 days ago | Contact lost with family of seven children, while trying to enter Turkey from Afrin countryside

Reliable sources have told the Syrian Observatory that a family from Afrin tried to cross Syrian territory into Turkey from a border village in rural Afrin, northwest of Aleppo. Contact was lost with the family for about 20 days ago inside Syrian territory, without being able to enter Turkish territory.

The family consists of nine members, a mother, a father and seven children. According to Syrian Observatory sources, the relatives of the missing family contacted the security forces in the Afrin area, which confirmed that they do not know about the missing family.

On November 18, SOHR sources said that two farmers were injured by Turkish “Jandarma” bullets today, while working on agricultural land near the border villages of Mazra Bani and Mazra Khowari, in the town of Al-Malkiya in Hasaka, where they were taken to the town hospital for treatment.

According to SOHR statistics, the number of Syrian civilians who have been killed by the Turkish Jandarma since the beginning of the Syrian Revolution, has risen to 459 including 81 children under the age of eighteen and 44 females over the age of eighteen.
