SOHR demands immediate interference | Hundreds of families stuck under rubbles in Jinderes in Afrin

Hundreds of families of Jinderes city and those displaced to the city in Afrin area are still stuck under the rubbles after nearly 90 buildings completely collapsed, where dozens of families are currently being saved and many others are still under the rubbles, while the number of missing and injured people is not identified yet.

The capabilities of the rescue and medical teams is poor within areas of the regime and the opposition, amid appeals by the residents to the international authorities to interfere immediately and provide support in this humanitarian disaster.

Meanwhile, rescue teams continue recovering bodies in Jinderes with limited capabilities, while the extent of the humanitarian disaster is much larger than the capabilities of the rescue teams, while the number of casualties increases by the moment in light of the presence of dozens completely collapsed residential buildings that the rescue teams have not reached yet.

A few hours ago, SOHR activists reported that the number of people who died under the rubbles in Syria has risen to 1,970 including 1,056 people in regime-held areas and 914 in areas of the “Salvation Government” and the “Syrian Interim Government” in the Syrian north, and over 120 people in Al-Atarib city in western Aleppo countryside, in addition to the injury of over 2,000 people and dozens of families still stuck under the rubbles, coinciding with the inability of rescue teams to recover the bodies and the injured people from under the rubbles.
