Avrin Hospital continues its humanitarian work
Al-Shahba Canton Council's administration has provided the medical staff of Avrin with a small place to stabilize in with some simple medical tools to help the displaced patients in al-Shahba canton.
The medical staff is working at a small room in Ahras district where two beds and a simple device are existed as the center lacks medicine and medical equipment.
As the mercenaries of the Turkish occupation army targeted Avrin Hospital, the medical staff was not able to rescue the medical devices and equipment in the hospital so that it continues its work with very little possibilities.
The doctor Azad Sabry who is one of the workers at Avrin Hospital said to Hawar news agency, "The medical staff of Avrin Hospital resisted beside the people in Afrin city, and provided all the available possibilities to rescue the wounded; however, targeting the hospital directly by the mercenaries and martyring the wounded obliged the medical staff to exit and head towards al-Shahba canton to continue providing the patients with the medical treatment there.
Sabry pointed out that the number of the patients is increasing a day by day as dozens of patients among them children and old people are flocking daily towards the medical point in Ahras district, and they are suffering from various diseases in the result of staying in the wilderness, vehicles and being exposed to the extreme cold.
The doctor Azad Sabry called for the medical organizations to provide the medical support; medical devices, equipment and medicine as the situation of some patients may worsen. Moreover, there is a fear of spreading infectious diseases among the people.
In addition to the medical point of Avrin Hospital, two dispensaries are existed in al-Shahba canton, one of them is at Kafar Naya district and the other is in Fafin district.
