The Turkish state has cut off the water of Hesekê and its villages since it occupied Serêkaniyê in 2019. Alouk station is the main and only source of drinking water for the city and the Hol, Serêkaniyê, Washukani and Erisha camps.

Residents use wells for water supply. However, drinking that water causes various diseases.

Hesekê residents, due to the pollution of water resources, have started to suffer from vomiting, poisoning, skin diseases and kidney diseases.

Ehmed Ferhan, Head of the Ambulance Department of Hesekê People's Hospital told ANHA that "100 people suffering from poisoning and skin disease come to the hospital every day due to water pollution in Hesekê."

Ferhan stated that the water in hospitals for kidney patients should be disinfected, so the water cuts also affect the hospitals to a great extent.

Ehmed Ferhan urged international and human rights organizations to find quick solutions to water supplies and the Alouk station.
