Dozens of gang members who get wounded in the ongoing Russian airstrikes against Aleppo, Hama, Humus, Damascus and İdlib cities of Syria are brought to hospitals in Antep and Kilis for treatment. According to reports by local sources, the gangs are transported to state hospitals in ambulances escorted by Turkish police and soldiers.
Russian airstrikes against ISIS, Al-Nusra, Ahrar u-Sham and other gang groups disturb Turkey and some other countries including the U.S., Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Differently from the airstrikes conducted by the U.S. and coalition forces, Russia hits the Al-Nusra, Ahrar u-Sham , Sham Front and other gang organizations deployed around Aleppo, Hama, Humus, Damascus and İdlib.
In parallel with the reports that a number of gangs members are now crossing into Turkey due to the ongoing offensives by Russia, reports are coming through that many gangs are being brought to hospitals in Turkey for treatment after getting wounded in the bombardments.
HOSPITALS IN KİLİS FULL WITH WOUNDED GANG MEMBERS
Hundreds of militants affiliated to mainly ISIS and Al-Nusra, to which Turkey has given full support since the beginning of the civil war in Syria in 2012, are also being provided treatment in Turkish hospitals, mainly in Urfa and Antep provinces.
A health staff member in Antep, to which the largest number of wounded gangs are brought recently, provided significant details to Dicle News Agency (DİHA).
The health worker with initials M.D. informed that a large number of wounded gangs have been brought to hospitals in Antep and Kilis since the beginning of Russian airstrikes, especially during the last two weeks. M.D. pointed out that the gangs were brought to hospitals in Turkish ambulances, and voiced concerns among the local people over the increasing number of militants affiliated to inhuman and barbarian organizations notorious for savage crimes against humanity.
GANGS BROUGHT TO HOSPITALS UNDER CONTROL OF MİT
Noting that some gangs members are being brought to hospitals with their military stuff, M.D. said the healthcare staff have no security of life as gang members are being accompanied by Turkish police and soldiers.
"We witnessed same situations in the recent past and these would also be covered by the media but treatment of gangs in Turkish hospitals had relatively increased in the recent period. Yet, we are witnessing the same case these days since the beginning of airstrikes by other forces in Syria. Dozens of gang members have been brought to the hospital during the last two months. These are not ordinary people as they are sometimes brought by MİT (Turkish intelligence organization) members who would even check the rooms before the treatment of the gang members they accompany."
ARE THEY MEMBERS OF MİT?
Stating that the gang members that die in hospitals are taken back to the border, again in Turkish ambulances, M.D. said;" They are acting as if the hospital belonged to them. Those hit in the airstrikes are not ordinary people, nor newly recruited ones because they are accompanied by many other people. Faces of some are being covered while they enter and leave the hospital, which proves them to be senior persons. Such ones are being treated only by the health staff arranged by police."
In consideration of the fact that organizations such as Al-Nusra, Ahrar-u Sham and Sham Front are controlled by MİT which also has many members in the field in Syria, the concealment of the mentioned persons while entering and leaving the hospitals brings to mind the question whether they are members of the Turkish intelligence.
