Protesting against tribal chaos | Medical organization suspends work in Al-Basira hospital in Deir Ezzor

 

Deir Ezzor province: SOHR activists have reported disputes between civilians in the eastern Deir Ezzor countryside in front of a hospital in Al-Basira city, due to refusal to hire certain people among the hospital’s medical staff. Disputes evolved to clashes by fists and guns near the hospital.

On the same context, the organization informed civilians about suspension of hospital’s work in Al-Basira city in protests against the events.

It is worth noting that this hospital had suspended work for the same reason two months ago, where the organization’s authority issue an official statement to close the hospital but after mediation and guarantees by tribe nobles and dignitaries that workers are not harmed, the hospital was reopened four days ago before the same incident was repeated today forcing the hospital to suspend again.

Reliable SOHR sources reported that the events of Al-Basira city came due to domination of tribes over organizations and public organizations by force and influence, creating chaos to achieve their goals.
