Statement of Condemnation of Attacks on Health Centers and Medical Personnel in North and East Syria

We at the Kurdish Red Crescent, based on our humanitarian duty, strongly condemn all attacks targeting health centers, medical personnel, and relief organizations in North and East Syria. The latest of these attacks occurred on the night of January 20, 2026, at 12:30 AM, when the Prosthetics Center in Qamishli was targeted. This center has long provided treatment to thousands of people with disabilities from all segments of society. The attack resulted in material damage.

According to the Internal Security Forces in Qamishli, the attack was carried out by a drone belonging to the Turkish state. We at the Kurdish Red Crescent hold the Turkish state fully responsible for these attacks, as targeting medical facilities, personnel, and humanitarian organizations constitutes a war crime under international law.

Therefore, we appeal to the international community and all human rights and humanitarian organizations to intervene immediately and urgently to stop these attacks on Kurdish cities and towns in North and East Syria, and to protect civilians and ensure their safety.

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
