Hasaka-Sana
This evening, drinking water began to reach the neighborhoods of the city of Hasaka, 14 days after the Turkish occupier and its mercenaries stopped pumping from the Alouk water station, which is the main source of drinking water for about one million people in the city and its surroundings.
The governor of Hasaka, Ghassan Khalil, confirmed in a statement to reporters this evening that drinking water from Alouk station reached the homes of citizens two weeks after it was cut off, after government efforts and international pressure, as 17 wells out of 30 were operated and 4 pumps were operating, indicating that work is underway to operate the wells. The rest to its full potential.
The technical workshops of the Hasaka Water Corporation entered the station for two continuous days to repair and operate its wells and pumps after it was subjected to theft, looting and sabotage by the mercenaries of the Turkish occupation.
The governor added, "We are currently conducting a study to activate alternative drinking water lines during later periods for the city of Hasakah and its countryside ... and we will work with Russian friends to remove all violations of the power lines feeding the station to ensure that the station is fed with the full amount allocated."
The governor pointed out that efforts are currently concentrated to ensure the sustainability of pumping water from the Alouk station through a workshop from the region’s residents, whose mission is to monitor its work and report any technical defects during its work, pointing out that “there is communication with Russian friends to stop the violations of the water line from the Alouk station.”
The governor praised the cooperation of the people and the local community and their role "in support of the government efforts to alleviate the suffering of the people during the water cutoff period by securing tanks and transporting drinking water to the people", noting the role of the media in highlighting the water cutoff and conveying the suffering of the people.
The Turkish occupation and its terrorist mercenaries in the countryside of Ras al-Ain continued to shut down the Alouk project and cut off drinking water from the city of Hasakah for the fourteenth consecutive day, threatening the lives of one million citizens with thirst and exacerbating the spread of the new Corona virus.
