Unstable conditions of the wounded in Syria’s Hasakah hospital due to Turkish bombing

HASAKAH, Syria (North Press) – There are two unstable injuries that arrived in the hospital last night as a result of the Turkish bombing of the town of Zargan (Abu Rasin), a medical official at the People’s Hospital in the city of Hasakah, northeast Syria, said on Wednesday.

Last night, a child and a woman were killed in the Turkish bombardment, and about 15, including children and the elderly, were injured. They were treated to hospitals in Hasakah, Derbasiyah and Amuda.

“The hospital received six injuries as a result of the bombing that hit the town of Zargan (Abu Rasin) and the surrounding villages north of Hasakah,” Dr. Antar Sino, the head of doctors at the People’s Hospital in Hasakah, told North Press.

“The two unstable cases are a child and a woman, while the rest of the injured received shrapnel in different parts of their bodies. They were treated and left for their homes,” he added.

Sino pointed out that the woman underwent an abdominal incision and the fragments were taken out. She is currently in the ICU under observation and her condition is currently unstable.

The child is a year and a half old and has an injury in the left shoulder. His lung is affected as a result of the presence of shrapnel in the left shoulder, according to the doctor. 

For ten days, the Turkish forces and the affiliated opposition factions have escalated their bombardment on the town of Tel Tamr and its countryside, 40 km north of the city of Hasakah, targeting inhabited villages and vital facilities in the area.

Yesterday, the countryside of Tel Tamr witnessed renewal of the Turkish bombardment which hit the villages of al-Dardara and Tel Shanan and the vicinity of the power transmission station near the Russian base, north of the town.
