Large displacement in northeastern Syria

Northeast Syria is witnessing a
new wave of forced displacement affecting hundreds of families, including those previously displaced from the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighborhoods. These civilians now find themselves once again in dire humanitarian conditions, exposed to the elements, rain, and bitter cold.
Women and children constitute the majority of the displaced, facing a lack of shelter, food, heating, and medical care, which directly threatens their lives. The continuation of these conditions without urgent intervention portends a genuine humanitarian catastrophe.
We emphasize that these repeated violations against civilians necessitate immediate and urgent humanitarian intervention by the United Nations and international humanitarian organizations. We also demand an immediate cessation of attacks on northeastern Syria and respect for the principles of international humanitarian law and the protection of civilians.
The international community’s silence regarding these events exacerbates the suffering of innocent people and places a moral and legal responsibility on the international community to rescue civilians and stop this ongoing humanitarian crisis
