Hi, we are Medical Self-Defense Network. We believe another world is not only possible, but necessary. In the following posts we will try to outline what we think a better world could look like and how we can achieve it together. 🧵(1/4)

2/ The SSC is fully autonomous, funded only by donations and cultural events. It rejects state, market, and political control to maintain true independence and serve everyone regardless of legal status or means.

10/ Ultimately, SSC aims to build a radically inclusive, democratic community—where everyone has a voice, knowledge, and shared responsibility—fostering social subversion through solidarity healthcare.

1/ In 2011, a hunger strike by migrants in Greece exposed harsh exclusion from healthcare, sparking the creation of Thessaloniki’s Solidarity Social Clinic (SSC) — a volunteer-run space providing care where the state failed.

Fortunately no serious injuries had to be taken care of.

But even now and in the mass events in major cities there
is a serious probability of attacks from ISIS as well as from Turkey or new Syrian government.

Today, while transporting an injured person from the Tishreen Dam area, one of the Kurdish Red Crescent ( @HeyvaKurd ) ambulances was directly targeted by Turkish state drones.

Fortunately, the team, consisting of a driver and a nurse, managed to transport the injured person and move away from the vehicle before it was targeted again and destroyed. This is not the first time that the Turkish state and its allied factions have targeted ambulances bearing the Logos of the International Red Crescent and Red Cross.

As we published earlier one of Kurdish Red Crescents ambulance drivers lost his life while transporting an injured person from the Manbij area on December 10, 2024, and So far and according to the health department of northeast Syria, two healthcare workers lost their lives while transporting the
injured, and three others have been wounded.

According to international law, targeting the injured, paramedics, ambulances, and civilians
constitutes a flagrant war crime. This is precisely what the Turkish state and its allied factions have been committing openly before the world since the beginning of the campaign targeting Manbij and its eastern countryside.
Health Department Ambulances and Workers who lost their lives since December
As the Kurdish Red Crescent, we strongly condemn these violations against humanitarian
work. We also denounce the international silence regarding these actions and call on
humanitarian organizations operating in the region, as well as those aware of the situation, to stand against these brutal violations that contravene the humanitarian and international
principles under which we operate.

#Kurdi

Îro di dema veguhestina birîndarekî ji herêma Bendava Tişrînê , yek ji ambûlansên Heyva Sor a Kurd (@HeyvaKurd ) bi awayekî rasterast bû hedefa balafirên keşfê yên dewleta Tirk. Ji bextekî baş tîma ku ji ajoker û hemşîreyekê pêk dihat karîbû birîndarê xwe veguheze û ji otombêlê dûr bikevin, lê careke din embulans hat hedefgirtin û rûxandin.

Ev ne cara yekemîn e ku dewleta Tirk û komên girêdayî wê ambulansên bi logoyên Xaça Sor û Heyva Sor ên Navnetewî hedef digrin, ku di dema rakirina birîndarekî de, di 10’ê Kanûna 2024an de karmendekî Heyva Sor (ajokarê ambulansê) jiyana xwe ji dest da.

Her wiha 2 xebatkarên tenduristiyê jî di dema veguhestina birîndaran de jiyana xwe ji dest dan û 3 jî birîndar bûn.

Li gorî mafên mirovan ên navneteweyî, hedefgirtina birîndar, ambûlans û sivîlan sûcekî şer ê eşkere ye û ev tişta ku dewleta Tirk û komên girêdayî wê ji destpêka hemleya hedefgirtina Minbicê û herêm û gundewarê wê yê rojhilat ve li ber çavên cîhanê pêk tînin.

Em weke Rêxistina Heyva Sor a Kurdistanê bi tundî van binpêkirinên ku xebatên mirovî dikin hedef şermezar dikin û em bêdengiya navneteweyî ya li hemberî van kiryaran şermezar dikin binpêkirinên ku li dijî prensîbên mirovî û navneteweyî yên ku em li gorî wan dixebitin.

Practical realization of this relationship is the mission of MSDN. (4/4)

[MSDN @msd_network]

A relation that is based on having agency in health instead of being dependent patients and business objects, a relation which promotes mutual aid instead of charity and circumvents poverty through grassroots empowerment. (3/4)
