Hundreds of thousands of people from Afrin had to move into the Shehba Canton following the attacks by the invading Turkish state and their gangs continue their resistance under harsh conditions.

The people of Afrin had been living in peace on their own lands since the beginning of the Syrian civil war, and the city had been home to hundreds of thousands of refugees. But the people have now taken to the migration route after the Turkish state attacked.

The people of Afrin have been killed in hundreds, wounded in thousands, and all their homes were looted by the Turkish state and Al Qaeda, ISIS and Al-Nusra gangs for not bowing down to Turkish colonialism. Now they live under harsh conditions in half-demolished buildings, courtyards, mosques, schools and cars in Shehba.

Migrants from Afrin have not received any support from the United Nations (UN) or any international aid organization to date, and survive only through the support of the Kurdish people and the peoples of Northern Syria.

The tent city the Shehba and Afrin Canton Administrations started to build a few days ago is now operational and many families who came from Afrin into Shehba are settling in the camp.

But the camp is very insufficient in meeting the need. Thousands of Afrin families are staying in half-demolished buildings, mosques, cars and olive groves. In many houses 3 or 4 families have to stay together.

Turkish invasionism has forced hundreds of thousands of people from Afrin out of their homes. It is estimated that 150 to 200 thousand people have settled in the Shehba region. Census efforts by the Shehba and Afrin Canton Administrations continue.
