QAMIŞLO

The sandstorm coming from Iraq reached on Sunday afternoon the border villages of al-Jazeera region which caused the suspension of traffic and blocked the view because of the density of sand and dust carried by it.

Sources from the villages of the countryside of Tel Hamis in Qamişlo canton reported that the storm broke down eight columns of main power lines and the electricity cut off from several villages in Tel Hamis town.

The storm arrived on Sunday night in Tel Hamis town amid expectations that it would move towards Qamişlo because it is coming from the south and heading toward the north.
