Hasakah’s water crisis may be deadly amid coronavirus outbreak in northeast Syria - North press agency
espite a partial lockdown imposed by the Autonomous Administration in North and East Syria (AANES), no precautionary measures are taken implemented by those collecting water in Syria’s northeastern city of Hasakah.
The Crisis Management Team in Jazira Region announced a total lockdown for 14 days starting on August 6, then extended the curfew for another seven days, which ends on August 27.
Dozens of people of the Khashman neighborhood in the northern countryside of Hasakah queue near a water tank to fill various sized jugs with water, right next to a house where a man recently died of coronavirus, without any commitment to physical distancing measures.
Youssef Hami, a resident of the neighborhood, said that thirst is more difficult than coronavirus.
