It has been alleged that a woman known as 'Songül Abla,' living around the Four-Legged Minaret in the Sur district of Diyarbakır, suffered severe pain throughout the day and occasionally asked for help by saying, 'I am in pain.' Those nearby claimed that the woman had an open wound in her intestinal area, experienced frequent bleeding, and could not access healthcare because she had no identification, prompting calls for assistance to the authorities.

The scene around the Four-Legged Minaret, one of the historic landmarks of Diyarbakır's Sur district, is worrying local citizens.

According to local shopkeepers and eyewitnesses, a woman known as "Sister Songül" in the area suffers from severe pain throughout the day and occasionally calls for help, saying "I am in pain."

FREQUENT BLEEDING

According to those nearby, the woman has an open wound in her intestinal area. For this reason, it is claimed that she experiences bleeding during the day and has to change her clothes multiple times.

Local residents state that Sister Songül is a cancer patient. However, there is no official medical information regarding what disease the woman has, at what stage the disease is, or what her definitive diagnosis is.

CLAIM: "SHE CANNOT BENEFIT FROM HEALTH SERVICES BECAUSE SHE HAS NO IDENTITY"

While it is stated that the woman's health condition has worsened over time, those around her want a solution to what is happening. However, it is also among the claims that the woman has no identity and therefore cannot benefit from health services.

CALL TO AUTHORITIES FROM SHOPKEEPERS AND CITIZENS

Local shopkeepers and citizens who have long witnessed the woman's condition state that the situation can no longer be considered only within the scope of social assistance. Citizens want the relevant institutions to take action to assess the woman's health condition, initiate the necessary treatment, and ensure she benefits from social protection mechanisms.

In the face of this scene at one of Sur's symbolic points, the eyes of the local people are on the urgent steps to be taken for Sister Songül.
