In the occupied city, two children have been raped by the members of Turkish-backed factions in Afrin in a week. On May 6, Ahmed Mamdouh, head of a Turkish-backed armed group known as Al-Amshat, raped a 10-year-old child in Afrin’s Shiye town.

Most crimes committed against women and children cannot be documented due to the lack of independent journalists and human rights organizations in the regions.
