For the first time in decades, a wildfire, in Mazıdağı district of Mardin (Dêrika Çîyayê Mazî/ Şemrex), is very suspicious about how it started!!! Many villages are at this moment are under threat of completely burned. There is still no aerial intervention!!! Dozens are dead, many injuries!!! Thousands of people are protesting in front of the city hospital…Follow the details
DEM Party co-chairs Hatimoğulları and Bakırhan call on immediate aerial intervention against the fire: “The fire that broke out in the rural area between Mardin and Diyarbakır has grown so big that it has spread to residential areas due to the wind. There are casualties and injured people. So far, the ground intervention is insufficient. Authorities should intervene more comprehensively and from the air without wasting time. We call on all sensitive institutions to intervene quickly.”
