HABER MERKEZİ - Co-Mayor Rojîn Benekpointing out that the embargo in Mahmur Camp, where 3 women died yesterday as a result of the bombing have left behind 9 months, said: "If the embargo is not removed, a situation that cannot be explained in history can occur."
 
Following the armed attack of Irak Federeted Kurdistan Region Administration against 3 officers located in the Turkish Consulate on July 17, 2019 in Hewlér, the embargo in Maxmur Camp continues. Armed Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (SİHA) belonging to Turkish Armed Forces bombed the camp yesterday around 13.10 where 48 political parties and organization have been making calls for the removal of the embargo. Three women lost their lives in the attack against their front yards.
 
The living conditions of the citizens living in the camp is getting worse day by day with the attack and the embargo.
 
UNDER VIRUS THREAT
 
In the camp where around 12 thousand citizens stay who migrated from cities like Hakkari and Şırnak in the 1990's, there are serious problems in the point of living materials and medicines originating from embargo. The camp's officials, who are also at a great risk from the coronavirus (Kovid-19) outbreak that affected the world, renewed their call for the embargo to end as soon as possible.
 
Maxmur Co-Mayor Rojîn Benek who spoke to our agency just before the bombing, pointing out that the embargo have left behind 9 months, stated that they are having financial difficulties and health issues and said: "Our people have difficulties in meeting their basic vital needs. We will also experience greater problems with the spread of the virus." Benek also said that they have limited sources and it will not be enough to fight the outbreak. Stating that the region where the camp is located is under the influence of the virus, Benek said that they have not yet encountered any positive cases in the camp. Stating that one of the main reasons for this, is the life in the camp, Benek said: "We pay attention to hygiene. We disinfected all public areas as the municipality with our limited facilities. However, our facilities in the camp are exhausted. Since there was no medicine in our hospital, we did not have the opportunity to intervene and treat minor health problems. We cannot give medicine even to those who have a disease."
 
Emphasizing that the embargo should be removed as soon as possible, Benek continued as follows: "Otherwise, If the embargo is not removed, a situation that cannot be explained in history can occur. They cannot account for the endangerment of the lives of the people living in the camp. The Iraqi state should also end its silence against this injustice and cruelty. They say their laws do not allow any injustices to occur, but they remain unresponsive in the face of this persecution. Our call to them is not to help, they should take action to remove this embargo."
