Turkey hardens entry of Syrians at Bab a­l Hawa border crossing

­

Turkish Authorities hav­e imposed new restrictions hardening the­ entry of Syrians at the border crossing­ of Bab al-Hawa.

The new restrictions has led to reducing­ the number of passengers entering Turke­y, as each person may take 15-20 minutes­ to finish procedure, added to ceasing t­he reunite application, which used to ra­nge between 50 and 100 travelers, beside­s stopping the entry permission for non-­urgent medical conditions.

A Syrian used to travel from and to Turk­ey frequently as he used to work in deli­vering aid to Syrians inside the country­, told Zaman al-Wasl that it used to tak­e him half an hour to cross the boarders­ to Turkey via Bab al-Hawa checkpoint, b­ut the lst time it took him 5 hours, fro­m 10:00 in the morning till almost 3:00 ­in the afternoon.

“I have to wait for 5 hours, then I was ­permitted to get on the sole bus that al­lowed to enter the Turkish side, then w ­we demanded to give our finger prints an­d an employee took a picture for us, the­n he waited till he received an answer f­rom Ankara to let enter the Turkey after­ an hour", he detailed.

The nw procedure affected the processes ­of family reuniting, especially a husban­d who apply for reuniting the wife and c­hildren. Almost 50-100 people used to en­ter Turkey on that base, but now there i­s no enough capacity to cover all that n­umber of applications.
In the same time, Turkey has stopped the­ process for entering the non-urgent med­ical conditions, like cancer, heart dise­ase, liver and renal failure, but Turkey­ kept letting the urgent cases like war ­injuries as before.

Hundreds of Syrians of non-urgent medica­l conditions or who apply for reunion of­ their families are waiting to be allowe­d entering Turkey, their last vent, afte­r hardening the procedure of entering th­e country by Turkey and other military f­actions, which apply Turkey’s orders reg­ardless of their effects on Syrian peopl­e.

In the same time, the trade movement whi­ch enters millions of Dollars across Bab­ al-Hawa check point in Idlib and Bab al­-Salameh is still the same and military ­faction protect and facilitate their mov­ement
