	NEWS CENTER - ECtHR accepted the application against Turkey after a 7 year old child got sick because there is no access to clean drinking water.

	&nbsp;

	Almost a million people living in the area in North and East Syria can not access water because Turkey have blocked the water going to Haseké. Citizens are facing a lot of difficulties especially with the Coronavirus (Covid- 19) outbreak.

	&nbsp;

	Hawar News Agency (ANHA) announced that the application filed by Ferhad Hac Derwîş in Hesekê whose child got sick because of the water, was accepted.

	&nbsp;

	Family lawyer Sêve Îzolî stated that European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) accepted the application due to the coronavirus outbreak and the defendant is not a Turkish citizen.

	&nbsp;

	The acceptance of the application, which is a first, may pave the way for legal applications regarding violations of rights in the region.
