This move, the SDF said, has caused a severe water shortage, alongside major deficiencies in food and medical supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SDF described these actions as a \u201c&#8221;blatant violation of humanitarian standards and pose a serious threat to the lives of the detainees,&#8221; and called on international organizations to intervene urgently to ensure the provision of basic necessities at the prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Malin Mohammed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said on Tuesday that two consecutive attack attempts by forces of the Syrian transitional government occurred in the town of Sirrin, south of Kobani, northern Syria, during the early morning hours, adding that their forces repelled both assaults.
