Fled Turkish intensive bombardment | Syrian Arab Red Crescent provides humanitarian aid to displaced civilians from Abu Raseen

Al-Hasakah province: SOHR activists have reported that the Syrian Arab Red Crescent has provided humanitarian and nutritional aid to displaced civilians from Abu Raseen district in the north-western countryside of Al-Hasakah, where voluntary teams have been stationed in Al-Shour village in the south western countryside of Al-Dirbasiyah countryside, and distributed the aid to displaced civilians in the village and other neighbouring villages.

This is the first initiative of its kind in the region held by SDF.

In early January, SOHR activists reported that the displacement movement rose in Abu Raseen (Zarkan) towards safer areas. The new civilian exodus coincided with ongoing ground shelling by Turkish forces and their proxies on the region. Hundreds of families displaced from the centre of Abu Raseen, Al-Khadrawy and Al-Asadiyah which were the centre of Turkish shelling.

The displaced people headed towards villages in the eastern countryside of Abu Raseen, Al-Dirbasiyah and Al-Hasakah city while camps refused to receive more displaced people for lack of free space.

It is worth noting that the Turkish shelling caused the death of seven civilians and injury of 20 others in less than a week.

Meanwhile, Turkish heavy artillery targeted public facilities and the headquarters of the district’s Municipality, which caused material damage.
