More than 17 thousand leishmaniasis cases in Tell Abyad and Ras Al-ain,
This area is under the authority of the Turkish-backed opposition sandflies spread in northern Syria, because of poverty and lack of sanitation Leishmaniasis is caused by infection with Leishmania parasites, which are spread by the bite of phlebotomine sand flies.
I am a journalist and political activist from Syria with more than 15 years of experience in writing and conducting research on politics, governance, Islamic groups, human rights, culture, and arts for major news media in the Middle East and North Africa. Whether it is in the actual war zone or among the refugees crossing borders for safety, my writing has always focused on telling the truth, which has often brought me into a face-to-face confrontation with those opposing freedom of expression and the press in the Middle East.
