The Kurdish-led administration in northern Syria says humanitarian conditions are getting worse by the day since Turkey began its invasion last week.

Tuesday’s statement warns that there is lack of much-needed humanitarian assistance after international organizations stopped their activities and withdrew their employees.

The region’s semi-autonomous administration says there is a lack of medical equipment and medicines after “most of the medical centers stopped functioning.”

The administration is calling on the UN, Arab League and European Union to “intervene quickly and provide medical, logistical and humanitarian assistance to the displaced to avoid the humanitarian crisis.”
