In November 2021, the death of 245 people was documented by the Syrian observatory for Human Rights

The fatalities recorder are as follows-

116 persons including 16 women over the age of 18 and 23 children under the age of 18 died in different situations.

Through gunfire and shelling, nine civilians including a child and three women were killed by regime forces. By the torture conducted in regime prison, six civilians died. The Syria Democratic forces killed six civilians including a child and a woman.

Fifteen-year-old Kafaa Aziz Mohammed, based in the northeast Syrian town of al-Darbasiyah on the Turkish border in Rojava, is hoping to obtain prosthetic limbs which would enable her to live a dramatically improved life.

Having been born with defective legs, the eldest daughter among eight siblings has been disabled since birth.

Kafaa told Rudaw on Tuesday that she is desperate to have the surgery in order to be able to work.

“I can’t work, that’s why I want to do the surgery. I can’t go to school either. I haven’t studied because I couldn’t go to school.”

Originally from the Shaddadi district in the Hasaka province in Syria, her family work as shepherds in al-Darbasiyah. Her mother says that when Kafaa was born, doctors had no way to treat her legs.

Now she is grown, they say she should have her legs amputated and replaced with prosthetics.

Delya Isa Abud, Kafaa’s mother, told Rudaw that the proposal would involve cutting off both limbs.

“I am worried that it [the operation] might fail, or that we can’t afford it. We would have sent her overseas if we could.”
