The head of the Immigration Department of the Autonomous Administration, Şêxmûs Ehmed, told ANHA that they have hosted many families who were forced to migrate from Aleppo and the Afrin-Shehba canton in the last two days.
Ehmed said that the number of displaced families in the application centers in Raqqa and Tabqa has exceeded 20 thousand, and added that the situation of the refugees is tragic.
Ehmed said: "Initially, we hosted the refugees in the cities of Raqqa and Tabqa, and temporarily placed them in schools in the city and the countryside. Due to the large number, we sent some of them to the Euphrates and Cizre cantons. The Crisis Desk allocated 235 centers, mostly schools, to migrants in Tabqa. In Raqqa, 60 centers were allocated to migrants. Each center hosts 40 families."
Ehmed added: "There needs to be coordination with the United Nations to establish special camps." Ehmed thanked the people of Northern and Eastern Syria for hosting the refugees and providing them with support.
Ehmed called on international organizations, the United Nations and the Security Council to open the Til Koçer border gate and called for a serious stance against the attacks of the occupying Turkish state.
