The woman, a widow who lives with her son, who also suffers from health problems, said she suffers from cartilage and disc problems in the back, as well as asthma. but the doctor treated her harshly and called the police, refusing to treat her.

Turkey has recently witnessed a campaign waged by right-wing groups against Syrian refugees in Turkey. After the economic situation worsened due to the global recession and the exchange rate of the Turkish lira fell to unprecedented levels, these groups blamed Syrian refugees.

The Syrian Center for Media and Freedom of Expression issued a statement in December 2021, stating that Turkish authorities raided, in early December 2021, houses inhabited by Syrian refugee families in the “Kahraman Kazan” neighborhood ” in the Turkish capital, Ankara, at five in the morning, he explained that they were later taken to the “Uzili” deportation center in Gaziantep, in southern Turkey, on the border with Syria.

The center considered that the recurrence of deportations in a number of Turkish states goes beyond individual violations or the arbitrariness of the security services, and points to a collective deportation policy implemented by the Turkish government against Syrians, underlining that it “violates” its commitment to international international law, including international humanitarian law and international human rights law, as well as its commitment to the principle of non-refoulement recognized by the United Nations and by Security Council Resolution 2254.
