Turkish air strikes in north-east Syria have left over one million residents without access to water, as attacks on vital infrastructure exacerbate an already dire humanitarian crisis. The Kurdish-held region, suffering from extreme drought and years of civil war, relies on insufficient water tanker deliveries since the main water station in Alouk ceased operations. As Turkey targets facilities used by Kurdish forces, experts warn that these actions may breach international law, with humanitarian groups calling for investigations into potential war crimes.
