Peregraf — Hundreds of displaced Kurdish families in Qamishlo are currently taking shelter in mosques following attacks on Kurdish areas by militia groups affiliated with Damascus, according to local sources.

The families are living in dire humanitarian conditions and are in urgent need of immediate assistance, including food, heating, blankets, and medical supplies. Women and children make up a large portion of those affected, many of whom fled their homes with few belongings.

Local residents report that these families have faced repeated displacement over the past 15 years due to ongoing instability in Rojava and continued attacks by various armed groups, exacerbating an already fragile humanitarian situation.

In response to the crisis, several aid campaigns have been launched across the Kurdistan Region to collect humanitarian assistance. Organizers say the collected aid will be delivered to Rojava in the coming days to support displaced families and help ease their suffering.
