150 tons of wheat wasted in Turkish attacks on North-East Syria

Starting from 12 January night, the Turkish army carried out airstrikes on 80 centres, most of which are basic life resources and service centres, in 72 hours.

Mihemed Miskozade, Co-Chair of the Euphrates Canton Seed Propagation Institution, informed the Press Centre of the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria about the attacks carried out by Turkish drones on 14 January. Miskozade reported that the institution’s seed warehouse and electricity generators stopped operating, while cleaning and sorting machines were damaged.

Mihemed Miskozade said, "As a result of the attacks, 150 tons of stored grain was damaged. Transport vehicles and a material sorting room and the roof of the building were also damaged. The total damage is around 150 thousand dollars, "he said.

The occupying Turkish state continues its attacks on areas in North and East Syria. Starting from 12 January night, the Turkish army carried out airstrikes on 80 centres, most of which are basic life resources and service centres, in 72 hours.

This marks the third time in three months that Turkey has embarked on an airstrike campaign targeting North-East Syria’s essential infrastructure. The repeated destruction of oil and electricity infrastructure raises fears of humanitarian disaster in the region, home to millions already suffering power blackouts, fuel shortages and water cuts.
