Turkish Military and Islamic Groups Invasion in Northeast Syria

14.11.2019

Turkish military and Islamic groups invasion in Northeast Syria:

On October 9, 2019 the Turkish army allied with Islamic militias started an offensive targeting mainly the area between Sere Kaniye and Tell Abiad. The SDF in turn defended it. After a few hours a huge displacement of the population started toward the southern areas of Hasake, Raqqa, Ein issa and Tel Tamir. Below is a detailed report day by day with photos and the casualties recorded.

30th of October to 14th of November, 2019

Displaced people from Serekaniye (ras el ein) in Tweyna camp between Hasake and Tiltemir. This camp is still under construction, without UN recognition or support. So far there are almost 700 IDPs in need of basic life support

Update on the situation of IDP´s

According to the UN, an estimated total number of 95,429 of IDPs has been counted, though the movements of IDPs fluctuate as many are still hosted at the homes of family or friends. Many IDPs have attempted to go back to their homes again. About 15.000 have arrived in Iraq, but the cross- border movements also vary significantly. Currently the Self-Administration with the help of Kurdish Red Crescent is preparing two camps for the newly displaced people. Tweyna (near to Hassakeh City) is a new camp under construction and will have a capacity of about 40,000 people. For this camp everything needs to be prepared: infrastructures as sanitation, kitchens, roads, shelters, medical points, electricity and the water supply. The main waterpipe is still not functioning. UN organizations such as UNHCR cannot support the new camp since the Syrian Government is refusing permission. International humanitarian organizations are doing their best to support remotely, but the main work, logistics and implementation and the associated costs remain currently with KRC and the Self-Administration. Currently about 700 IDPs have already arrived at this camp. Until now KRC has arranged about 100 family tents. The rest still remain in large shared tents. As well as the infrastructural works, KRC is providing medical primary health care through one mobile maternity unit and an ambulance for emergencies. Currently we are preparing for at least two static medical point (clinic)

Tweynah Camp

Newroz camp is also still under preparation. About 250 people, including many children, have already arrived at Newroz. This camp was supported by UNHCR with around 20 tents. All other works, as electricity and WASH (sanitation) remains with KRC and the Self-Administration. This camp will have a capacity of about 15,000 IDPs. KRC is providing medical primary care through a mobile clinic and one ambulance for emergencies. We are preparing for at least one static medical point as well.

Updates from 30th of October to 14th of November

• Despite the ceasefire, Turkish forces with the Islamic-backed forces continue to move forward to Tell Tamr (which is outside of Erdogan's “safety corridor”) and Darbasiye. There are casualties daily on all front lines. • The IDPs from Ras Al Ein (Serekaniye) and its surrounding areas have been protesting in front of the UNHCR office in Qamishli, in their words to “take their voices to the UN”, asking about their homes. It has been reported to the Kurdish Red Crescent that many civilians who wanted to go back to their homes in Serekaniye were not able to stay due to threats, or were forced to pay “fees” of about 10.000 USD by the Turkish backed forces. This tactic was utilised specifically against Kurdish civilians, and the people who were employed by the Self- Administration. About 70% of the originally population of Ras Al Ein were Kurdish and/or working with the Self-Administration. In Tell Abiad the same same problems exist as for Ras Al Ein, only that the Kurdish population was smaller. Many of them were employed by the Self-Administration as well, including Arabic people. • in Ras Al Ain District, GoS reinforcements returned to the area between Abu Rasin and Arada towns on the 3th of November with heavy weapons and armored vehicles in Um Harmal (after withdrawing a few days prior). Armed clashes and exchanges of indirect fire attacks

continued north-east at Abu Rasin Town, in Um Harmal, Dada Abdal, Bsys, Mezri Mahmodiyeh, and Tal Mohamad Villages. • Further south (North of Tell Tamr town), armed clashes and exchange of indirect fire attacks have continued between the SDF and NA in Um Elkeif,Aaniq Al-Hawa, and Qasemiyeh villages. No advances were reported. • In Tell Abiad District, armed clashes have continued on 4 November between the NA and the SDF in Qantari and Al-Masudiyeh Villages along the M4, following NA advances in the area on 02 November. • Raqqa City, east of Ein Issa Town (Shakrak crossroad and further east), north and west of Tell Tamr town and along the OAG/SDF frontline in Menbij sub-district (Khattaf, Sultaniyeh and Dadat villages). In addition, the Dadat crossing point remains closed since 24 October.

• On 3rd of November, a direct attack was conducted north of Tell Tamr against the medical team of the Free Burma Rangers, which lead to the death of one photographer and paramedic (Asian) and the injury of one translator (Iraqi); the attack was most likely with a mortar.

• During a joint patrol of Russian and Turkish military forces on 8th of November, local people responded by demonstrating against them. The Turkish forces used tear gas against the protesters. As a result of this violence on 8th of November a 25 year old person got killed, and 10 others were injured and were hospitalization.

• On 10th of November, an indirect fire exchange was reported in Um Shaaifa, Um Harmal and Mahmoudiyah Villages. As a result, several GoS members – including two officers – and NA members were wounded. • An ambulance of the German INGO Cadus was also hit south of Um Shaaifa Village, leading to one paramedic and the driver being wounded, and the ambulance being damaged.

• GoS movements within Menbij and Ain Al Arab Cities remains highly restricted, with previous coordination required jointly with the SDF. • In addition, GoS military reinforcement continues in Ein Issa town, recently coupled with GoR presence and the establishment of a Russian base in the former CF base of Ein Issa town. A GoR Military Police deployment has also been observed in Saidiyeh (former a CF base in Menbij sub-district), Ain Al Arab and Quamishli Cities. • On the 11th November an Armenian Christian priest Hanna Ibrahim and his father Ibrahim Hannah Bido were shot and killed on the road from Hasaka to Deir Ezor while they were traveling to restore an Armenian church in Deir Ezor (ISIS announced that they were responsible for this attack) • Two car bomb attacks were conducted in Qamishli in Wihda street in the market; at least 4 civilians died, and 50 were injured. Recently, the Asayish announced that they apprehended the suspects.

• on the 12th November, a patrol was conducted in Ain Al-Arab Sub-District (18km), starting in Marj Ismail Village to Tal Hajib and then to Jam Harran Village. During this patrol, protesters forced the patrol to change route onto unpaved roads in Elishar Village, by blocking the initial route and throwing stones at the patrol. Additionally, in Tal Hajib Village, the TAF responded by firing tear-gas grenades at the protesters, resulting in no casualties.

• Shortly after, in Jam Harran, TAF members discharged SAF and fired tear-gas grenades towards protesters, who were blocking the road and throwing stones at the patrol, causing a TAF armored vehicle to break down. As a result, at least eight civilians were wounded (including one by the SAF).

• On the 14th November the TAF/GoR conducted a joint patrol (34km) in several villages south-west of Dirbasiyeh Town, starting from Sherk Village and patrolling several villages south of Highway 712, before heading back to the border from Tal Kadish and Qurmaneh villages. The patrol was accompanied by two Russian helicopters flying over the area. During the patrol, several civilians protested and threw stones towards the patrol, especially in Tal Kadish Village, but no incidents were reported.

Tiltamir people are fleeing as the heard Turkish army and Turkish backed group are close to the city.

Situation of IDPs

The number of counted IDPs just in Hassakeh City contains almost 3.000 families and around 11.500 individuals, from this number we have at least: 23 unaccompanied children, more than 5000 children between the ages 0-13, and more than 400 pregnant or breastfeeding women. Those IDPs are currently divided into around 60 schools.

Many more families and individuals are displaced in and around Raqqa, Tabqa and Qamishli, and elsewhere. Many displaced families were able to find temporary accommodation at their relatives' or friends' houses.

Some thousands arrived to northern Iraq to a formal camp of Mosul IDPs. This camp was not prepared to receive this high number of IDPs and is missing tents, WASH facilities as well as Health Care services and the provision of food and water.

The biggest deficit for IDPs in Hassakeh is the lack of water, as well as WASH facilities and toilets, we are expecting outbreaks of diarrhea in the near future. KRC is providing mobile units for primary health care and some ambulances for emergencies. This is not enough for the amount of people, taking into consideration the bad hygiene circumstances.

Support of IDPs in Hassakeh 22 Currently the Self-Administration is planning and building a new camp near by Hassakeh. This camp is prepared for 40-50.000 IDPs. Further the formal Yezidian camp “Newroz” is under preparation to host around 10-15.000 people. Already now some people have arrived to this camp, due to the lack of tents these people are currently sleeping in the Toilet and WASH containers.

Since those IDPs are expected to stay for a long period in the new camps, the self-administration was planning to set up caravans, also taking under consideration that soon it will be very cold. But the high number of IDPs can unfortunately not be covered by caravans. The request to UNHCR to provide tents is still ignored. Note: while writing this report the UNHCR were sending 20 tents to Newroz Camp.

With thankful regards to the great solidarity from around the world and private donations, including the Kurdish governorates in northern Iraq, we were able to support those camps with infrastructure and the provision of health care in the future. But taking into consideration the coming winter and the lack of time it is still not enough. So much is missing… starting from cooking facilities and heaters, ending with proper WASH facilities and the basic provision of food and water.

The main water pipe, destroyed by a Turkish airstrike is still not fixed and the whole region is still lacking water.

21th - 24th of October,2019

• On 24th we get confirmation that the ambulance team which was working in Suluk, were killed by the Turkish backed forces (we cannot tell the names in popular in this day in respect to insure that the families will know verbally and respectfully and not through documents) the names to be shared later, 3 nurses two of them female and one male. Also, the Kurdish red crescent was informed that they were buries badly in the water sewage system in Suluk near Tal abyad.

• On 22th and During a short press conference following a several-hours long meeting, the Presidents of the Russian Federation and of Turkey announced the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding regarding Russian/Syrian and Turkish concerns/ interests in Syria.

• After all INGOs left, there is huge pressure on the local NGOs and there is a big miscoordination with the ones on ground with UN agencies since, and as there was expectation that the seize fire is ending, the Kurdish Red Crescent announced a statement: 25 As the ceasefire in northern Syria nears its end, the people in northern Syria are waiting for their fate, having largely lost faith in the international community to take serious action to reduce a worsening humanitarian catastrophe. The Kurds, Arabs and some international people gave their lives and lost their beloved to fight ISIS. The international community where not even able to take back imprisoned or hosted ISIS families to their nations. As everyone knows, the situation inside the camps where already difficult before the attack of Turkey. Now it became disastrous. We took it as our humanitarian mandatory to serve all people no matter of their background, nationality, race, religion, gender. But the international community where not able to support this humanitarian principles. We will always continue our work in this way, accepting the international humanitarian principles, because we cannot watch people dying or suffering. And we still protect the ideas of international laws and principles. But our trust in the humanity of the international community is lost. Our capacity has ended, we cannot bear this responsibility anymore. About 200.000 people have already been displaced (since the attack from turkey), to more southern areas. Those areas are already now overcrowded. There are no shelters, not enough food, not enough medicines, not enough drinking water. The water pipeline which got hit by an airstrike is still not functioning. More than 500.000 people are since more than one week without water supply. Further there is still ISIS cells in all areas. The Kurdish security forces has no capacity at all anymore to protect the civilians from the terror of ISIS or the allies of turkey. In these days ISIS where able to increase their capabilities again in the whole region. Many ISIS families could already flee to unknown areas. The security forces cannot ensure the security in other camps anymore. We as humanitarian aid workers cannot ensure the supply services anymore which will increase the frustration of the inhabitants of the camps and lead to a higher security risk for humanitarian aid workers and also camp security. Not to mention the very bad health situation for many inhabitants and the already very weak newborn and children in these camps. Since the ceasefire, we documented 21 civilian dyed and 27 injured. Not counted are all those who remains under the destroyed houses, got kidnapped or executed by the allies of turkey.

In total we documented 9 casualties of health workers until now. Two camps, including ISIS families, are already evacuated or where able to flee (Ein Issa & Mabrouka). 5 hospitals and clinics are out of service, 2 hospitals in Kobane and the hospital in Tal Tamr had to evacuate in- between but could manage to go back and provide their services again. Until now we have no access to the regions of Kobane and Menbij to send medicines or other supplies. After the withdraw of hundreds of humanitarian organizations, the number of victims will increase very dramatically. We reached the gates of a humanitarian catastrophe and an expected genocide while the international community is watching and did not take any serious step to reduce this catastrophe. We don’t know what will happen after the ceasefire. If Turkey will attack the whole border district at least 1 million people will have to leave their homes. There is no capacity and no space to cover the needs of all those people. Taking into consideration, that the weather is changing very fast and it is getting cold. Especially children and elderly will suffer a lot or dye under these circumstances.

20th of October,2019

• On 20th of October, some hundreds civilians in Raqqa City where protesting against the Turkish invasion. The demonstration was reported to be peaceful and has since disbanded.

• Today, the Kurdish Red Crescent had another convoy to Serêkaniye (Ras al-Ain) to evacuate fifteen wounded, seven martyrs and five families (women and children). Also many not injured families joined the convoy out of the city. We have no actual number of people who remained in the City, but we know for sure, that many bodies are still under the rubble and ashes of the destroyed houses. We where not able to bring the martyrs back to their families.

• This is the story of one of our paramedics who was in the Hospital of Sere Kanye (Ras Al-Ain) for 26 six days while turkey attacked:

&Raman Suleiman Oso; working in the Kurdish Red Crescent, as an anesthesiologist and paramedic in ER sections. Raman tells his own experience from the last 6 days inside (Roj) hospital in Sri- Kaniye(Ras Al Ain), as they were besieged by the Turkish-backed groups. “On October 13th 2019, I went to Sri-Kaniyeh to help the wounded, arriving in big numbers to Roj " hospital as a result of aerial bombardments and shelling onto the town. All the cases we received had shrapnel, wounds, burns and fractions in their whole body. We had been forced to amputate limps of injured in many cases. Due to the difficult conditions inside the hospital - not enough adequate medicine or medical equipment and no electricity. Some of the injured lost their lives in the hospital, we couldn't rescue them or send them to other hospitals in safer areas, away from the clashes. Their faces, while giving the last breath are carved in my memory, I 'll never forget that I was there, with nothing to do, but watching them in such situation. Turkey and its faction committed the lives, but shelling and bombardments on the town didn't stop. Civilians were besieged inside the town, while we could leave the hospital yesterday (Oct 19th), with no water or food, burying their dead beloved and family members inside their houses, as they hadn’t been able to reach the hospital. Neither were we able to reach them, because of the proliferation of Turkish-backed faction snipers everywhere, shooting anything which might move. I've been told that three persons from one family went out of their house to get some food for the family members from the next shop. They got killed the moment they stepped out. Their bodies remained in the street. I can’t describe my feeling when shells were falling around and through the walls of the hospital, it is

so hard to be described, the only thing I can say now is that we; the volunteers and the hospital medical stuff, were not receiving just military casualties, but also civilians and young men and women who tried to defend their city and protect their land”.

19th of October,2019

• Since the seize fire agreement between SDF and the Turkish Government, there were 20 injured and 20 martyrs’ civilians registered by the Kurdish Red Crescent teams. • Clashes occurred between SDF and the Islamic groups west of Bab Al-Khayar Village group, but there were no changes in the territory.

• Finally, a convoy of ambulances from the Kurdish Red Crescent, Cadus NGO, arrived to Ras Al Ain (the main Hospital) and could rescue and evacuate many injured people from the hospital 30 injured and 4 martyrs. While there were unfortunately dead because there was no chance to arrive to them earlier, and were buried in the area around the hospital. There was also the capability of an organization called (Free Burma Rangers) to pass as well.

• We need to keep a humanitarian corridor to Ras al-Ain Serêkaniye. There are wounded people we could not reach and martyrs under the rubble. Keeping a humanitarian corridor is very needed.

18th of October,2019 27

The clashes are ongoing in Ras Al-Ain although turkey, USA and SDF agreed in a seize firing in the whole region, We can confirm airstrikes near Abu Rasin with a lot of casualties (military and civilian) - 30 at least received by Tal Tamir Hospital.

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 team. They reached up to 5-10km to Ras Al-Ain. Our teams are now back and still on hold. 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.

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 other needed medical help. The hospital got partially destroyed. The small medical team, inside the hospital is still doing their best to save the lives inside.

16 and 17 of October,2019

• 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 16th we had no access at all anymore. • The capacity of Tiltemir 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 to the hospital very likely. We evacuated most of our teams and continued just with a small team. • In the hospital of Ras Al Ain is still a small team of department of health working but with very limited capacities, they inform us, that there is many injured people which they cannot treat and will probably die because of the lack of services. KRC submitted an official call for help to ICRC and all humanitarian organizations: There is a strong attack on towns and cities of North-East Syria, especially Ras al-Ayn city. This is the most ferocious attack by Turkish military forces and allied Syrian militias . The city is suffering shelling, artillery, airstrikes and ground incursions with tanks and heavy weapons. This has led to many civilian injuries, and since our medical teams have been targeted we are unable to enter the city to rescue the casualties. We are requesting that you respond to this appeal and intervene according to humanitarian duties in order to bring an end to the airstrikes and ensure our permission for the evacuation of civilian injuries . Otherwise, we call on your direct intervention into the city. Without either intervention, we will 28 experience a full humanitarian disaster and lose hundreds of civilian live.

Kurdish Red Crescent 17/10/2019 Qamishli – 12:33 PM

• GoS forces accompanied by GoR military police have officially entered Menbij town. Prior to this, pro-GoS TV presenters were observed in the center of the town, reporting of widespread call from the community for GoS intervention in the area. Asayish, later stopped the filming and asked the reporters to leave the town.

Unknown weapons attacks in Ras al Ain: Hasake national Hospital received some patients, Civilian and Military, with burns (level 2 and level 3 ) after airstrikes. 6 patients where discovered with different symptoms. By time of writing this report an investigation of their symptoms is taking place to evaluate the symptoms and to check by which kind of weapon they got targeted. Some medias published the use of forbidden weapons. We as Kurdish Red Crescent can not confirm the use of chemical weapons yet, but working together with our international partners to investigate this subject.

• The displaced people problem became bigger after the INGOs had to leave NES, and those work remotely most of them cannot have good access, the other problem is that the GOS has raised the flag of Syria in some schools those host IDPs and many INGOs are not allowed to work there.

• As it was expected, this evening big part of KRC team had to leave the Hospital in Tal Tamer due to the conflict around the town in Manajir and Alyia Silos area around on the M4 east Tal Tamer, in that way there will be too much difficulties to reach to the wounded and the injured people in the area of the conflict and Ras Al Ein. Later at midnight it was reported that SDF took the control of both areas east Tal tamer, but the medical team will check the area if there is possibility to work in the hospital or not. 29

Legerin Hospital) and then to Qamishlo and Hasake Hospitals, in the list below the new casualties are added. • Ein Issa camp is without services since yesterday, except for the only Health Point where KRC medical team is working with very limited capacity. During the chaos, 25 unaccompanied minors were evacuated by NGOs together with the UN to Raqqa city where they are now being supported in a NGO CFS.

• The displaced people problem became bigger after the INGOs had to leave NES, and those work remotely most of them cannot have good access, the other problem is that the GOS has

raised the flag of Syria in some schools those host IDPs and many INGOs are not allowed to work there.

• Ein Issa camp was dramatically change today as a lot of ISIS cells showed up to attack and burn the tents, there is no NGO can work there while the most of the IDPs were moved to Mahmodly camp.

• The remaining of the INGOs left this morning through Semalka-Peshkhabour gate after the Syrian government showed up: “We have made difficult decisions, staying until the last minute. Of key NGO bases, Kobane was the first to have completed the withdrawal of the staff and the suspension of activities and it was hit with heavy activity just a day after. Ein Issa escalated significantly after assessments were made the day before to withdraw all international staff and relocate to coordination of activities to Raqqa. Today, we are leaving Amuda, Tel Tamer, Hasekeh city with, at least Tel Tamer, witnessing presence of GoS just hours after the last NGO started moving”. 30

Overnight, the situation in Menbij and Kobane was reported as calm, though reports indicate that GoS forces will move into the aforementioned cities in the next few hours, while it is reported that TAF forces have reinforcements on the other side of the Turkish border from Menbij and Ain Al Arab/Kobane. 5. GoS elements have arrived in the towns of Ein Issa.

KRC Statement on the Impact of the withdrawal of international INGOs and continued attacks by Turkey

After the agreement between the Syrian Government and the SDF all international NGOs had to 31 withdraw their international staff and have no access anymore to the region and also the situation got unpredictable with turkey as a NATO partner. At the same time the impact on the humanitarian situation is disastrous. Services for newly displaced people and already overburdened IDP/Refugee Camps decreased to a critical minimum. The IDP/Refugee camps are now left with extremely limited support. The coordination among remaining local NGOs and UN Organizations is poor and if support is provided there is duplication while at the same time big gaps in critical services such as shelter, drinking water and food. The coordination for the Emergency response is extremely difficult after all international NGOs also withdrew their essential expat staff this morning. Right now, KRC is the ONLY humanitarian Aid Organization providing direct Emergency Response on ground. Meanwhile, Turkey does not accept us as a neutral humanitarian aid organization and breaks international humanitarian law by targeting our ambulances and health point. By time of writing this statement the Turkish troops have nearly reached Tal Tamr. The chance that the hospital becomes a target itself is high. We are monitoring the situation very close, in order to re-allocate the team and the patients. We will continue our activities in all six camps and all health clinics and hospitals that are supporting in all cities. We will continue to monitor and documentation of the wounded and martyrs. We also assist the newly displaced people and coordinating the humanitarian support. In the best case this will end up in a massive escape towards Iraq (and than Europe), in the worst we experience a genocide. We need NOW the help of the international communities! - We need NOW turkey to stop the invasion and to accept Syrian territory! - We need NOW the access for international humanitarian Aid Organizations! - We need NOW the support of all democratic nations who accepts the human rights to stop this!

We consider Europe as well as USA and Russia as responsible to end this massacre immediately!

13th of October,2019

• At the early morning, the Turkish air forces were flying very closely over Ein Issa camp which lead to fear between all the IDPs and Refugees inside of it. After that, around 10 am some families left, including ISIS families from the annex section. As the fight was coming so close, the security team of the camp and the self-administration announced that they were not able anymore to control it.

Kurdish Red Crescent, which is the main health responder in the camp, had to leave as well due to security issues, and other actors left. There was burn of tents in the annex section and ISIS supporter were carrying weapons with them (seems they had it before). After few hours the Asaysh was able to go back to Einissa check point while the IDPs went to Tilelsemin village, south of Einissa.

• Tow ambulances of the health Department were kidnapped on the road to Tell Abiad and no other information about them reached as so far.

• Turkish backed forces took control of Mabruka Camp during the afternoon. Reportedly, there were about 15 IDP families still in the camp at the time. • Around 4 pm, a Turkish airstrike impacted the center of Sere Kaniye- Ras Al Ain town, which was at the time densely populated. The attack caused 11 deaths and 74 injuries at least, 32 among them civilians and reportedly a number of international journalists, but we think the number of the victims will increase because there were a lot of several injuries. Those people were from all NES area community, heading to the city to show solidarity with SDF. All were referred to Tel Tamir (S. Legerin Hospital) which was already full so our team had to refer them to Hasake national hospital and Qamishlo hospital. • At the late night between 11-12 pm, there was bombing on a TSB managed by the health department of NES in Asadiya village 15 km south Ras Al Ain, as a resuly the 2 paramedic were heavily injured with one ambulance driver, they were referred to Tiltemir hospital then To Hasake.

12th of October, 2019: • Kobane was strongly target since the night. The main hospital was out of the service for three hours beacasue of close bombing that caused damage. Massive displacemet was recorded. • An explosion occurred in front of Al-Hasakeh Central Prison, No casualties or escapes were recorded. • Around 7- 7:15 am the Trauma Stabilization Point (TSP) set up by KRC in Salihiye village, south of Ras Al Ain, has been hit by what we believe was an airstrike. The TSP was temporarily placed there to support injured persons, 15 minutes away from the front line of RAA. Two KRC staff were injured. Four patients where inside of the TSP but they were not further injured and the staff referred them to Tel Tamer hospital. Two ambulances have been damaged. Both them and staff were clearly displaying KRC logo. KRC staff on the ground

report that the airstrike was not nearby but believed they were directly targeted. As a result, the two ambulances were out of the services and the driver and the paramedic were injured. • The entirety of the M4 between Ein Issa and Tell Tamer remainds under SDF control. However, turkish baked groups have reportedly made territorial advances between Tell Abiad and Ras Al Ain during the night – around Rajim Aanwa area and possibly further south. And after that they stopped the vehicles on the road and killed some of them (could be only the kurds). The head of one party in NES (Hevrin Khelelf) was one of the casiualties and was captured with the driver. As Kurdish Red Crescent with our humantarian partners we get a lot of support from Hevrin as she was into the humantarian work deeply. One of her speaches- “The war in Syria has destroyed the places of childhood of millions of Syrians. In Ain Issa camp for displaced Syrians, we suggested that we give the displaced people every tent, a small tree, they plant in front of their tent. Take care of it. To be remembrance of them, after they left the camp towards their cities and homes. It will be a beautiful green memory, in a land that has grieved them and made them homeless. ” • Tell Abiad was heavily bombed all the day and medical teams are still working inside of it trying to help the injures although there was a lot of randomly targeting everywhere, which still limit the movement and the work in trauma stabilization points and stop the hospital. KRC team there were trying to rise a flag showing that they are humanitarian organization but this didn’t work as they targeted the TSP in Ras Al Ain. • KRC teams are not able to reach Ras Al Ain anymore, but we are still trying to find a way. There is targeting on our ambulances as we try to go closer. After the TSP was targeted the situation get worse.

The Kurdish red crescent has already declered on 9th : This targeting is affecting the situaiton in NES for Local and IDPs in the the 7 main camps in NES, we have already decleared in KRC that:

Due to the clashes on the border with Turkey and injuries and casualties, we have been required to reposition our medical and ambulance teams from several camps such as Al Hol, Areesha, Ein Issa, Roj and other camps. Unfortunately, this situation may cause a decline in the quality of work in these camps, which contain tens of thousands of refugees and displaced people, but the priorities of the stage requires that we respond first to life-threatening situations. Most of our partners from humanitarian organizations and other INGOs in the region, for security reasons, have limited access to the camps, which threatens to decrease the service and increase the burden on the camp administrations and security forces guarding certain sectors within these camps such as Al Hol. We will work in the Kurdish Red Crescent in our best efforts to arrange our teams to respond to the emergency situation on the border with Turkey and to continue working with the same quality in the camps.

The hospital in Serekaniye (Ras Al-Ain) is out of services, cases has been referred to Tel Tamr Hospital, Hasakeh Hospital and Ein Issa Hospital. 37 The hospital of Tel Abiad (MSF) is out of the service so the cases were moved to other areas such as Ein Issa, and Tel Tamer.

The hospital of Hasake as all Hasake area have lack of water which create problem to respond, The largest Christian Neighborhood (Bisheriya) in NE Syria is being bombed and some civilian houses were burned, 2 of the dyed civilians were from there.
