A number of Afrin residents suffer from intractable diseases, such as neurological, psychiatric, hyperthyroidism, convulsions and memory impairment.

The medical staff reported that psychological and neurological crises have been exacerbated in recent times by psychological and psychological exhaustion and psychological trauma as a result of the sounds of bombing, attacks and explosions that were exposed at the time of the Turkish aggression on the canton , which led to the poor condition of the former patients and the injury of a large proportion of them after the displacement.

According to the statistics, which were diagnosed by the Kurdish Red Crescent that there are 80 cases of patients need necessary analysis and medication in addition to radiographs, and that patients are of all age groups, but not available in al-Shahba for diagnosis and treatment.

"I need physical therapy and a central and axial tomography of the brain and my condition will get worse if I do not treat myself".

In this context, Dr. Mohamed Issa noted that the multiplicity of mental and neurological diseases is due to two main reasons, the first psychological trauma suffered by Afrin people under the attacks of Turkish aggression because of the sounds of explosions and warplanes.

The second reason for the deteriorating conditions of patients is the failure of international organizations and humanitarian associations to provide to al-Shahba canton with medicines that are difficult to secure."
