The Federation of Municipalities of North and East Syria Region announced the return of firefighting teams to their cities after the transitional government headed by Al-Julani refused to allow them to pass to the Syrian coast to contribute to extinguishing the devastating fires that swept the region.
The co-chair of the Federation of Tabqa Municipalities, Farida Muhammad, delivered a statement in the municipal stadium square in Tabqa city, saying: “At a time when the areas of the Syrian coast are exposed to devastating fires that affected forests and homes and caused great damage to property, we follow with great sorrow the human and environmental suffering resulting from this disaster.”
The statement explained that the Union of Municipalities of the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria announced its readiness since the early hours of the disaster to provide support, including firefighters and relief materials, stressing that “what affects any part of Syria affects us all, and that this is a national and moral duty.”
The statement expressed regret that the delivery of aid to the coast was not allowed, stressing that “natural disasters must be above all political and administrative considerations, and that solidarity among Syrians in such circumstances is a humanitarian and national necessity.” The Union also affirmed its permanent readiness to provide support whenever circumstances permit, “believing in the principle of unity of destiny and shared responsibility.”
Following the statement, the fire brigades returned to their regiments in the cities of the North and East of Syria region after a wait of more than 72 hours.
