In a school in the town of Karki Laggi (Maabada) Northeast of Syria, dozens of displaced people flocked to the area after Turkish army attacks on their towns and villages, scenes of children in shock, women tired of traveling, women sitting and telling what happened with them. During the displacement journey that lasted several days under the fire of Turkish aggression, bereaved mothers to their children and bereaved sisters to their loved ones, human scenes that are unbearable.
With her tearful eyes and shaked voice, tired of whining and crying, speaks to us of the 60-year-old Fatima Abdel Qader, displaced from her hometown Kobani, “We have been displaced from our city.” “After the intensification of shelling and fire (aggression) over our heads, we had no other choice but to go out. I went out with my children and their families, in the march we were afraid and terrified on the way because of the shells that were pouring on us. ”
“We are tired of war,” Fatima said, and started crying, talking five years ago our city was destroyed and ISIS attacked us, we left our homes and everything we had then, and so far we are living the same suffering, how long will we be killed and displaced, how long will we remain in this situation, We were tired a lot, and I got heart disease because of fear and terror, and after we arrived in the town, we were housed in this school lacking primary services, and no relief organizations have come to us so far, and all I want to enjoy some peace, and to return to our cities and villages and our children not to be scared. ”
The displaced “Zozan Hamid” was not in a better condition of the other women, she comes from the city of Afrin, says with sorrow I did not want to hurt my children any hatred, especially after the Turkish aviation killed my husband, Turkish aviation bombarded us with missiles, we came to the city of Qamishli, and then displaced again to Karki Laggi(Maabada), as you see, our situation is very difficult, and we are displaced by Erdogan, what he wants from us, isn’t it enough to him what we suffer from oppression and injustice. ”
In a small room, one of the classrooms in a school sheltering displaced people, Narjis Shekho, a mother of young children, sat in the corner of the room with her fatigued face, tired of watching under the shells of the Turkish invasion, and did not hold herself and tears from falling. Here we are displaced again, my children were scared, and they could not sleep, so we decided to leave the city to a safer place. ”
In the small bathroom corner of the school, she washed her children’s clothes, after an exodus to the town of Karki Laggi to (Maabada)
Roshen Mohammed, a thirtieth mother and displaced from the city of Afrin, we spoke and the tone of anger about this situation in her voice, “What do we do with ourregret, we are tired of homelessness here and there, we were displaced from Afrin and here we are displaced from Qamishli from shelling and bombs, we want the war to end, we want to go back to our city, and we want our children to live in peace like the rest of the world.”
Tragic and very difficult situations for these displaced women from different cities and regions in Northern Syria, with their children and fleeing the Turkish bombardment to a safer place, but the journey of displacement and hardships suffered in the journey of displacement and the fear that accompanied them was greater than everything, and their eyes are still watching peace And return.
