“In 2019, Turkish forces started to come into our cities and started bombarding the city through their air force and army. We had to leave the city to save ourselves. We were about 5 kilometers away from the city, we stayed at a different place each night, we used to walk while crying without knowing where we were going. After several days we went to Hasakah to stay at a school for a while. Something that I’ll never forget is when there was an airstrike on us by Turkish forces and everything in front of me became suddenly dark. I was seeing bodies on the street. I will never lose hope, and we will one day go back to our city and liberate it from Turkish forces.”
