The Ministry said in a tweet on its Twitter account: “The repeated cutting of water to more than a million Syrian citizens in and around Hasaka is nothing but a despicable and inhuman game, whether by the separatist “Qasd” militia and its sponsors, the American occupation forces, or by The Turkish occupation forces and its tools are among the terrorist groups.”

The Ministry added: The repetition of water cuts constitutes a collective punishment against civilians, especially vulnerable groups such as children, women and the elderly, and is a war crime and a crime against humanity.
