QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013<\/strong> The first radiotherapy machine to treat cancer arrived in northwest Syria, a region that has lacked proper equipment to treat cancer patients, over the weekend, the UN\u2019s aid coordination office (OCHA) said on Tuesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hospitals in northwest Syria have not been able to provide radiotherapy sessions due to the lack of such machines, pushing Syrian cancer patients to depend on cross-border referrals to Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comes after extensive advocacy efforts by the UN and its partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the Turkey-Syria earthquake on Feb. 6, which greatly affected northwest Syria, Turkey has placed obstacles in the way of Syrian cancer patients trying to enter Turkish territory for treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July, residents<\/a> in northwest Syria protested<\/a> Turkey\u2019s refusal to allow Syrian cancer patients enter its territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The machine, which is installed in the largest hospital in the city of Afrin, can provide over 40 radiotherapy sessions a day. It is expected to be able to help one-third of all cancer patients in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Briefing reporters in New York, UN Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric lauded the move as a \u201cmonumental step\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
