The World Food Programme (WFP) says it distributed food to 2.4 million people across Syria in July, instead of the expected 3 million. But the Kurdish region which did not received any humanitarian assistance of the United Nations. The table of the WFP is a proof of this.

Western Kurdistan, the Kurdish territory in Syria, is under a de facto embargo by Turkey since the beginning of the revolt, launched in March 2011. The country closed its doors to Kurds, while leaving the door open to al-Qaeda-linked fighters and Free Syrian Army (FSA) fighters who receive military and financial support from Turkey.

Inside the country, allegedly al-Qaeda-linked groups and FSA brigades made an alliance against the Kurds. Since July 16 fighting is raging between these groups, supported and armed by foreign countries, and the Kurds fighters.

The size of the international embargo is visible on a table showing the "humanitarian" aid distribution and published in the report of the WFP. It honestly looked like an array of "discrimination" and "embargo".

According to the WFP spokesman in Geneva, the agency is below its initial objectives, having managed to reach 2.4 million people in Syria in July, instead of the expected 3 million. The spokesperson Elisabeth Byrs says the agency hopes to address these gaps and reach its 3 million goal in August. "But this situation of insecurity and escalation in violence, especially in areas such as Homs, Aleppo and Al Hasakeh, led to delays," she said to explain this situation.

On the table, we can see that the Al Hasakeh which includes Western Kurdistan has not received any help. It is the most stable region in Syria, but one in need of food because of the closure of borders and roads.

There is no risk in delivering food in the Kurdish region, and this rises the suspicion that the choice not to deliver food in the Kurdish areas has to do with the attempt, by international and regional forces, to break the resistance of the Kurdish people who adopted the "third way" in the Syrian conflict, establishing a de facto democratic autonomy within a "confederation of peoples of the Middle East."
