SHARAFEIN MUSTAFA/ AFRIN

The sisters lost sight in the right eye as a result of the targeting of the bus which they have taken it off with their family by Turkish occupation army and its mercenaries, they have lost their grandmother in the same accident and now they need to be treated as quickly as possible for lack of eye doctors in al-Shahba canton.

The residents of Afrin resisted 58 days under the bombardment of warplanes, missiles and rockets, hundreds of civilians were martyred and wounded, many of them are still being treated, and they recall the details they lived in Afrin whenever they saw their wounds.

Many civilians, including entire families, were wounded and seriously injured in the bombing of Turkish occupation army and its mercenaries on Afrin. The residents are resisting the current conditions of life in the villages and districts of al-Shahba canton.

The choices were many to survive, but our eyes are redemption for Afrin

Turkish occupation army and its mercenaries targeted a bus carrying 21 civilians as they exited Zarka village of Rajo area at 6 am on 2 March.

The family of Hasan Mustafa 53 old, who went out with other families as a result of the bombing of Turkish occupation army and its violent mercenaries on the area, the family described the shelling as "pouring on their heads like rain."

Where an elderly woman and a 10-year-old child lost their lives and 18 others were injured.

During the bombardment of the bus, the entire family was wounded by shrapnel. The three sister's grandmother of 85-year-old Amina Mustafa also lost her life in the bombing.

The family, of parents and three sisters who lived safely in their small home, stumble for living from olive trees. The three sisters' wounds were the most violent, where they were injured in their right eye and lost their sight.

Despite the tragedy and difficult circumstances experienced by the family and what they lost, but their will did not weaken, the mother Samira Hasan says: "Yes we were harmed, and my three daughters lost their eyes and the ability to look and all that a sacrifice for Afrin."

For his part, the sisters' father said that he inscripted his memories among the olive trees that he took care of and made a living from but whenever he saw the eyes of his daughters he saw the pain of losing the homeland, "In spite of everything, we have the faith to return home, because we are the owners of land."

While the family appealed to human rights and health organizations to provide support and help as soon as possible to address the eyes of their daughters.

The three sisters, Nairouz Mustafa, 35, Nathifa Mustapha 19, and Aliya Mustafa, 12, need quick treatment for their serious injuries and loss vision, especially the loss of 12-year-old Aliya Mustafa, her right eye, and the older fracture in the lens of the eye, and the other distorting in the eye mesh.

Where the sisters were treated when they were injured in Avrin Hospital in Afrin city and Aliya stayed for days in intensive care for the seriousness of her condition, after being forced to leave Afrin, the family moved to Tal Rifat area in al-Shahba canton and began to visit the Red Crescent medical center for treatment, taking medicines and eye drops.

Red Crescent's potential is of no use to the sisters, as they no longer have the necessary medicines and even pharmacies do not have medicines that can treat their eyes, not to mention the lack of eye doctors in the area.

The three sisters need to be treated quickly, hoping that their wounds will not get worse.
