The suffering of the people of al-Hasakah city continues to be cut off from drinking water, in light of the international and regional silence, which is covering up Turkey's crimes against the Syrian people, which increases the greed of Turkish war criminals to innovate in extracting new and immoral methods that have reached cutting off water to the people.

A number of al-Raqqa residents said in an interview with Hawar news agency ANHA on this subject that the methods of killing the Turks use against the Syrian people in northern and eastern Syria are one murderer, who is still using water as a weapon against the people of northern and eastern Syria.

The people’s talk comes at a time when Turkey and its mercenary groups continue to cut off water for more than a million people who have lived in the city of al-Hasakah for weeks, after stopping the pumping of water from Alouk station in Serêkaniyê      / Ras al-Ain occupied northern Syria.

Muthana Muhammad, a young man from the southern countryside of al-Raqqa, affirmed that "the use of water as a weapon against unarmed civilians is a war crime that the Turks are practicing under the eyes and ears of the international community, which is giving the Turks the green light to dispel people and target them in their most basic rights as human beings."

Muthanna Muhammad noted that "the responsibility for moving this issue internationally rests with the Syrian government, which reserves the right to represent Syrians abroad through its embassies or representatives in international and international organizations, and it still shows a shy attitude towards issues crucial to northern and eastern Syria."

Reem Al-Khalil, a young woman from al-Raqqa, condemned the international silence about the suffering of women and children in the city of al-Hasakah, pointing out that "the images coming from there prove the barbarism of the Turkish regime in its targeting of the Syrian people with the most important necessities of life, which is water."

She pointed out that "the inability of the Syrian government to do anything is rejected by the Syrian people in northern and eastern Syria, who today rely on the Autonomous Administration institutions to find a solution and save the city of al-Hasakah."

The people of Raqqa demanded human rights defenders in the Middle East to move the file of Turkish war crimes on Syrian soil in all international human rights forums that claim to be created to achieve a better life for the human being.
