The Alouk water station in Hasakah still does not work due to the Turkish occupation’s attacks on the electricity facilities supplying it

The Alouk water station in the Hasakah countryside has stopped   pumping drinking water as a result of the Turkish occupation targeting the electrical supply stations in the governorate, especially the Darbasiyah power station, which went out of service on the fourth of this month.

The Director General of the Water Corporation, Engineer Muhammad Othman, indicated in a statement that the continued suffering of the people of the city of Al-Hasakah and its western countryside due to the interruption of their only source of drinking water is due to the Alouk water station stopping work as a result of the Turkish occupation targeting the electricity stations feeding it, indicating that there are efforts to deliver a specific amount of electrical current to the Darbasiyah power station on an exceptional basis, to restart the Allouk station until it is completely repaired.

Othman pointed out that the Foundation in cooperation with humanitarian organizations and bodies working in Syria, is working to secure the needs of the people in the city of Hasakah for drinking water, by transporting quantities of it from the manholes surrounding the city via special tanks and providing it in tanks spread throughout the city and surrounding neighborhoods, in addition to providing quantities of water produced through desalination plants, while the restarting of the Allouk Water Station and pumping water to the people.

The Turkish occupation forces present in the countryside of the occupied city of Ras al-Ain deliberately cut off the water of the Alouk station repeatedly, threatening the lives of about a million citizens living in the city of Hasakah and its surroundings and the western countryside of the governorate, especially since the station is their only source of drinking water.
