Response Coordinators appeal to humanitarian organizations to activate the medical points in Jabal Al-Zawiya, south of Idlib
The Syria Response Coordinator Team called on medical and humanitarian organizations and bodies operating in Idlib governorate to reactivate the medical points in the villages and towns of Jabal al-Zawiya, south of Idlib, after the Marayan point went out of service.
The team said: “The bombing of the Assad regime this morning caused the only medical point in Jabal Al-Zawiya to be completely out of service, which will push civilians to travel long distances to obtain health services.”
He added, “Civilians will face great difficulties and risks in transporting war casualties to hospitals, given the large scale of escalation that the area witnesses daily through artillery and aerial bombardment.”
This morning, the Assad regime forces targeted, with laser artillery, the only medical point in Jabal al-Zawiya, which caused the death of a woman and the complete destruction of the point.
Our correspondent said: “The artillery bombardment with advanced Russian Krasnopol missiles targeted the only emergency medical point in Jabal al-Zawiya in the village of Mara’an twice in a row, which led to great destruction and a fire at the point, killing a woman and seriously wounding a child.”
The emergency medical point in Jabal al-Zawiya is the only point that provides medical services to thousands of civilians in the area, under the supervision of a volunteer medical staff, at a time when the area has been witnessing daily bombing campaigns for several months, according to our correspondent.
The Syria Response Coordinators team had said that the facilities and infrastructure in northwestern Syria are subject to systematic targeting by the Assad regime and Russia, recording a new targeting of one of the camps for the displaced, “Maryam camp.”
The number of vital facilities that have been targeted by Russia and the Assad regime in northwestern Syria since the start of the ceasefire on March 5, 2020, is 56 service and vital facilities, including 7 camps, according to statistics from the response coordinators.
