It’s been three weeks since there has been little to no water supply in Syria’s northeastern province of Hasakah, according to local sources. Turkish forces, who are in control of the Alouk water station in the northern countryside of Al Hasakah are responsible for this cut in the water supply. The Alouk station pumps water to 1 million people in Hasakah. Tankers run by the government are currently offering drinking water to residents in the area. As well the shortage of water supply COVID-19 cases in the region are increasing the area. We speak to journalist Hoshang Hasan from North Press Agency about the situation in the region.
