Current medical report from North and East Syria

Kurdish Red Crescent submitted an official call out message for all humanitarian organizations to help.

Kurdish Red Crescent Heyva Sor released a statement providing information regarding the latest situation in northern Syria where Turkish military offensive seeking to invade the region continues despite a ceasefire agreement reached on Thursday.

Heyva Sor said that a combined convoy of Kurdish Red Crescent and Cadus NGO tried to reach Ras Al-Ain, since the morning, but they were not able to pass due to the targeting and the drones threatening the medical team.

According to Heyva Sor information, more than 38 injured people are waiting inside Ras al-Ain hospital for their evacuation. Some of them already passed away due to the lack of blood and lack of medical help.

“The hospital got partially destroyed. The small medical team inside the hospital is still doing their best to save the lives inside. Also Free Burma Rangers Organization tried to reach Ras Al-Ain to rescue the injured, while writing this report, we have no update from them.

The main attack is concentrating on Ras Al-Ain. Since the beginning of the attack, the access was already very limited. But since the night of the 16th we had no access at all anymore.”

Heyva Sor pointed out that the capacity of Til Temir Hospital, which is the main hospital to respond to all the injuries from Ras Al-Ain had to decrease drastically since the clashes were very near and attacks on the hospital very likely. Heyva Sor said they evacuated most of our teams and continued just with a small team.

“There’s a small in Ras Al-Ain Hospital with a limited capacity. There are many injured who cannot be treated and will probably die due to lack of services,” said the statement.
