PYD Administration Cuts Heating Diesel Supply to Amouda

Welat TV – Erbil

Residents of Amouda and its surrounding countryside in Syrian Kurdistan have experienced growing public anger and concern in recent days after the local fuel department halted the distribution of the second batch of heating diesel, according to a local source.

The report, published by the Kurdish National Council in Syria, stated that the decision came at a sensitive time, as thousands of residents in Amouda rely on heating diesel to cope with cold weather and operate home heating systems.

Diesel is also used in some cases to run electricity generators or meet urgent household needs, particularly for families with elderly members or patients.

According to the source, the situation has worsened further because free-market diesel has also disappeared from local fuel stations, leaving residents with virtually no alternatives.

The crisis is becoming even more difficult with the arrival of Ramadan, a period when families typically need more stable living conditions. Many residents now face a double hardship: cold temperatures on one hand and the absence of diesel fuel on the other.
