The delegation was from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and conducted a field visit to gather information about the living conditions and urgent needs of residents and internally displaced people settled in Kobane.
Farhad Haji Issa, a Kurdish official in Kobane, said the visit focused on assessing key humanitarian sectors, including the economy, healthcare, water, energy, and other essential services.
Representatives from relevant local institutions, including health, water, energy, and displacement authorities, attended meetings with the UN delegation, where they discussed the challenges facing the city and its residents.
The UN delegation told Kobane officials that they would maintain direct communication with local authorities to stay informed about humanitarian developments and pledged efforts to help address the city’s problems and provide assistance to displaced people.
The delegation also collected field data on displaced families currently residing in Kobane, reviewing their living conditions and humanitarian needs.
Despite a January 29 agreement between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Damascus that halted fighting and outlined steps toward military and administrative integration, Kobane remains under siege by Syrian government forces. Residents have called for the reopening of roads and the urgent delivery of humanitarian aid to the city.
