The Kongra Star in the city of Zirkan issued a statement expressing its strong condemnation and rejection of the refusal by hospitals in Southern Kurdistan to admit Kurdish fighter Ghazala Moilan, who was injured in an Iranian drone attack targeting a camp in Sulaimaniyah, Southern Kurdistan, before later succumbing to her injuries.

The statement was read in Kurdish by the conference member Haifa Izzat al-Haj Khalil and in Arabic by the conference member Iktimal al-Abdullah.

The statement included, "While expressing our deep concern and dismay at this situation, we affirm that the treatment and healthcare is a fundamental right guaranteed to every human being without exception, and no one should be deprived of it under any circumstances, regardless of their circumstances or background."

The statement emphasized that refusing to admit and neglecting emergency humanitarian cases constitutes a clear violation of the ethical values and medical and humanitarian principles upon which healthcare institutions are supposed to be founded.

The statement called for an urgent and transparent investigation into the circumstances of the rejection to receive the injured fighter in a timely manner, and called for holding those responsible for any negligence or shortcomings accountable, ensuring that such cases do not recur in the future, and emphasizing the commitment of all health institutions to their humanitarian duty without discrimination.

In conclusion, the statement called on all human rights and media organizations to highlight this case to ensure justice and fairness for the victim and all those facing similar circumstances, confirming that human dignity is paramount and that protecting life is a responsibility that cannot be compromised.

It is worth mentioning that on April 17, the Iranian regime launched an attack on the Alan camp in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, which resulted in the killing of two Kurdish fighters; Nada Miri and Samira Elayari.

Additionally, an Iranian drone attack targeting the Surdash camp on April 14 resulted in serious injuries to Ghazala Moilan, who later died from her wounds.
