In another chapter of hostility and duplicity in dealing with the displaced, UNICEF has reduced the share of the displaced people of Afrin from drinking water in Shahba Camps, which include the forcibly displaced people of Afrin, in an act similar to what Turkey is doing in Hasakah, where drinking water is cut off from the people.

This is also a complement to the policy of blockade imposed on the region, following the extension of the closure of the Tal-Kochar Crossing and the opening of the mercenary-controlled Bab al-Hawa Crossing (Heyat Tahrir al-Sham), so that more than 5 million Syrians will be denied humanitarian assistance from the international community.

On this subject, member of the Central Committee of the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Party, Gulistan Atti, states that "the Turkish occupying state is fighting the people of the Shahba region by all means; Damascus Damascus is imposing a blockade on the people of Shahba and preventing the transit of needed needs in a way that supports the policy of the Turkish state, which wants to occupy new Syrian areas. "

And about reducing the share of drinking water for displaced people in camps, Gulistan Atti said. "The World Organization of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), which supports refugees, has been providing drinking water for Shahba Camps, but has begun to retreat from its tasks and says that it is unable to provide drinking water for the refugees. At the same time as Turkey is cutting off the water from the Aluok plant, we reject this because we know that the Turkish occupying state is a barbaric aggressive state, but UNICEF is a humanitarian relief organization and must not do so."

She concluded her speech, stressing that "humanitarian organizations must not be subjected to policies that are hostile to the people of the region, and we hope that these organizations will function properly and serve refugees and provide them with drinking water."
