As Turkish-backed factions sell electricity to farmers in Ras al-Ain countryside | Power grid disrupted, and Alouk Station stopped pumping drinking water to Al-Hasakah

Al-Hasakah governorate – Syrian Observatory for Human Rights:

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has monitored popular discontent in the city of Ras al-Ain and its countryside, following the power outage for the second day in a row, due to the use of electricity in water extracting to water agricultural projects

In the meantime, the pumping of drinking water at Alouk Station has stopped in the areas held by Turkish forces and their proxy factions, from which Alouk Station supplies the city of al-Hasakah and areas in its countryside, while water from several wells cannot reach civilians’ homes.

Furthermore, SOHR sources say that Turkish-backed factions allow farmers to use electricity from 6 p.m. to early morning hours to grow their crops, in return for money.

In this context, a Russian delegation is preparing to visit Alouk Station to check the electricity grid in the surrounding area, and to meet Turkish forces there to repair disruptions in the water system, and to pressure Turkish forces to remove illegal usage of electricity.
