The Qamishlo Canton Jineoloji Research Center prepared a report on the fire that broke out in the Newroz camp. Eight people, 7 of whom children, lost their life. The report said the fire was the consequence of the Turkish invasion.
After the invasion attacks of the Turkish state and its mercenaries many families were forced to flee their house and settle in Newroz camp. Eight people, 7 of whom children, died in their tent when a fire broke out in Newroz camp on 3 April.
The Qamishlo Canton Jineoloji Research Center visited the Newroz Camp and prepared a report on the fire.
According to the report the fire broke out in a tent where two families had settled after being forced to leave their houses in the village of Zirgan in Bisis. They fled when the Turkish state invaded their village.
Wedha Kenû El Sacir and Mihemmed Elewî El Sacir are being treated in hospital in Hesekê while their children Fatma (11), Meyeser (9), Diyana (8), Teyisir (6), Bera (2) and Assad (2 months) lost their life.
Living in the same tent with Wedha Kenû El Sacir and Mihemmed Elewî El Sacir were Sureyya Hemûdê (31) and her 8-month-old child Ehmed Mihemed Hemîd. They both died while Mihemed Xelîl Hemîd (Sureyya’s husband) was injured and is being treated in hospital.
After the fire the camp administration and Heyva Sor A Kurd provided the first intervention and brought the injured to the hospitals in Hesekê.
The report said: “The families tragically destroyed by the fire were like thousands of families who migrated after the Turkish state invasion attacks against Girê Spî and Serêkaniyê. These people have been forced to leave their homes and to leave all they had. They are currently trying to survive in camps, under difficult conditions.”
This fire, said the Jineoloji centre “is a direct consequence of the invasion carried out by the Turkish state. Nowadays, when the world is struggling against the coronavirus outbreak, the picture emerging in North-East Syria is heavier, taking into account the undergoing occupation.”
The report added: “There are now many children in Newroz camp struggling to survive. Some institutions and organizations have organized events so that the children in the camp are not psychologically affected by the fire. However,the reality is that more radical solutions are needed. The healthy development of children is possible only with a safe future."
