<<Lack of heating materials in camps exacerbates suffering of displaced people
People living in IDPs camps in Idlib have to burn household items and plastic to keep themselves warm. This situation poses a risk to displaced people's lives and health. Recently, three children suffocated to death inside their tent.
Idlib- People living in IDPs camps of Idlib struggle to survive despite the difficult living conditions. Winter exacerbates the suffering of displaced people living in tents; they have to burn household items and plastic to try and keep warm in freezing temperatures. This situation poses a risk to the displaced people's lives and health.
Three siblings suffocated to death
On December 22, 2023, four siblings were hospitalized in Ahl al-Tah camp, northern Idlib, due to carbon monoxide poisoning. After treatment at hospital, they survived. On January 15, three siblings suffocated to death inside their tent in the Atma IDPs camp. <They died while sleeping inside the tent,> said 45-year-old Lina Al-Suwaid, one of the relatives of the children.
'Families burn household items, plastic and coal to keep them warm'
Lina Al-Suwaid emphasized that families could not buy good quality coal due to financial difficulties. <This situation poses a risk to families. Families burn household items, plastic, coal and shoes to keep them warm. Such heating materials cause deaths.>
'Carbon monoxide is the most dangerous gas'
<Carbon monoxide (CO) is the most dangerous gas,> said 38-year-old Maram Al-Sheikh, one of the healthcare workers. <It is a colorless, odorless and poisonous gas that cannot be noticed. The use of unhealthy materials, closed spaces make entry and exit difficult for air and oxygen. The symptoms of carbon monoxide are headache, weakness, dizziness, nausea or vomiting, shortness of breath, confusion, blurred vision and drowsiness. Carbon monoxide can lead to death.>
'Immediately move to a well-ventilated area'
<If people suspect CO poisoning, they should immediately move to a well-ventilated area,> Maram Al-Sheikh warned. <Then, they should call an ambulance. Lack of security procedures and awareness also causes people to die of carbon monoxide poisoning.> >>

<<Women of Afrin: Walls will not keep us away from Afrin
The Turkish state has established new borders by digging trenches and building walls from Serekaniye, Gire Spi, Jarabulus and al-Bab to Afrin. <Walls will not keep us away from Afrin,> said displaced women of Afrin, who live in Shahba.
Shahba- The Turkish state and Turkish-backed factions occupied Afrin in 2018, Serekaniye (Ras al-Ayn) and Gire Spi (Tell Abyad) in 2019. Recently, the Turkish state has established new borders by digging trenches and building wails from Serekaniye, Gire Spi, Jarabulus and al-Bab to Afrin.
'Walls will not keep us away from Afrin'
The Turkish occupation in Afrin displaced thousands to Shahba. Displaced women of Afrin, who live in Shahba react to the establishment of new borders by the Turkish state. <The aim of the Turkish state is to divide Syria. We were forcibly displaced from Afrin six years ago and since then, we have resisted in Shahba. The Turkish state aims to break our resistance by building new borders; however, walls will not keep us away from Afrin. Afrin belongs to the people of Afrin, not to Erdogan,> said Almaz Hiso, one of the displaced women of Afrin.
'They cannot break our resistance by building new borders'
Zeyneb Xelil thinks that the Turkish state has established new borders in the occupied areas to break the resistance of the Kurdish people. <But they cannot break our resistance or annihilate us by building new borders. Afrin will be liberated by our resistance. We will strengthen our resistance against the walls of Erdoğan. The Syrian government should take a firm stand against the construction of walls.>
'Our resistance will prevail'
Şerin Ehmed, another displaced woman of Afrin, stated that Erdogan and his armed factions have no right to establish borders on their lands. <Human rights organizations should oppose the establishment of borders by the Turkish state. Afrin belongs to us and it will always belong to us. The Turkish state is an occupying state. It aims to keep us away from Afrin by building walls; however, Erdogan's dreams will never be realized. One day, our resistance will prevail and we will return to Afrin.> >>

<<YAT Commander Çavre Kobane: Al-Hol camp poses a threat to the whole world
<Al-Hol Camp poses a threat to the whole world,> YAT Commander Çavrê Kobanê said in an interview with NuJINHA about the third phase of Operation Humanity and Security against ISIS in al-Hol camp.
Hasakah- On January 27, the General Command of Internal Security Forces in North and East Syria Region announced that they launched the third phase of Operation Humanity and Security against ISIS sleeper cells and the people supporting the activities of ISIS in the al-Hol camp with the support of the Women's Defense Units (YPJ) and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The searches in the Muhajirat section of the camp ended on the third day of the operation. The security forces seized flags of ISIS, weapons, mines, many other ammunition and uniforms of the members of the Ashbal Al-Xilaf (ISIS's brigade of boys aged between 13 and 14). The member of the Anti-Terror Units (Kurdish: Yekineyen Anti Teror, YAT), the special forces of the Syrian Democratic Forces, consisting of the best trained and equipped members of the People's Defense Units (YPG) and Women's Defense Units (YPJ), have also joined the operation.
In an interview with NuJINHA, YAT Commander Çavre Kobane spoke about the third phase of the operation launched on January 27 in the camp.
'Al-Hol camp poses a threat to the whole world'
<Female members of ISIS in the camp have formed a children's brigade to revive ISIS. They use the new generation to revive ISIS. The camp has become the ideological academy of extremist ideas. It poses a threat to the whole world and urgent steps must be taken to avert the resurgence of ISIS,> said Çavre Kobane.
'Many military equipment and torture devices were seized'
In the first three days of the operation, the security forces seized many military equipment and torture devices used by ISIS, Çavre Kobane said, <We seized many explosives such as bombs and mines and torture devices such as iron chains and iron swords that had been used to torture women. During the searches in the Muhajirat section, the children made menacing gestures with their hands meaning they would behead us. These children are now like this, what will they be like tomorrow? We also found many tunnels. The women, who want to support ISIS, are captured, tortured and killed by radical female members of ISIS. Recently, two sisters were killed in the section because they did not cover their hair properly.'
'The operation is led by the YPJ'
The third phase of the operation continues in the camp. <We will close down the places where women were killed,> Çavre Kobane said, <The operation is led by the YPJ in order to reduce the threat posed by ISIS members to our cities and the world.>

Innocent children pay the price too

At the conference, Yazidi women discussed the genocidal attacks against the Yazidi community, the genocide commited by ISIS against the Yazidi community in Shengal (Sinjar) in 2014, the building of an autonomous administration in Shengal, the returns to Shengal and the ongoing attacks on Shengal. At the conference, Yazidi women demanded the United Nations and the International Criminal Court (ICC) to take action and the official recognition of the tragedy experienced by the Yazidi as a genocide. The final declaration of the conference has been released. <International efforts are a must to rescue thousands of Yazidi women and children held captive by ISIS. The safe return of the Yazidis, who were forced to leave their homes in 2014, must be ensured,> the final declaration said. The declaration called on the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP or PDK) to stop preventing the Yazidis from returning to Shengal, <We call on all international powers to support the compensation of war damages, the clearing of mines planted by ISIS and armed groups and the reconstruction of Shengal.> In the declaration, the Yazidi women demanded an investigation be launched into countries, especially Turkey that support ISIS. <The ongoing impunity is not only a shame but also paves the way for new genocidal attacks. <We congratulate the countries that have recognized the genocide of Yazidis by ISIS and call them to stop the attacks of the Turkish state and we call on the United Nations and the European Parliament to investigate the crimes committed against the Yazidis in 2014 and prosecute those responsible for the genocide of Yazidis.>
The declaration also called on the UN, the Iraqi government and the European Parliament to cancel the agreement signed by the Turkish state, KDP, and the Iraqi government on October 9, 2020, seeing it as a continuation of genocide and femicide and to seek a solution with the Yazidi organizations and institutions in Shengal. <We call on the UN Women and the UN Commission on the Status of Women to conduct an investigation into the countries where Yazidi women and children were trafficked and to declare August 3 as an international day against femicide. We call on the countries that have already recognize the genocide against Yazidis to ensure the right of the Yazidis to self-determination within the borders of Iraq.> The declaration also called on UNESCO to add the cultural and historical remains of the Yazidis to the world heritage list. <Yazidism should be officially recognized in the world, especially in Iraq.> >>
