Correspondents in Hasaka reported that water has begun flowing through residential supply lines in a number of the city’s neighborhoods, ending a years-long interruption that began after Turkey and its affiliated armed factions occupied the Allouk water station in the countryside of Ras al-Ain in 2019.

The cities of Hasaka, its surrounding countryside, and Tel Tamer rely primarily on drinking water supplied from the Allouk station in the countryside of Ras al-Ain.

Water reached residents’ homes this evening; however, correspondents have not yet confirmed whether the source is the Allouk station itself or the alternative supply line previously extended from the Euphrates River by the Water Directorate.
