URFA - 18-year-old Yusuf Uluğ, who was seriously injured as a result of the explosion of a military object, has been fighting for his life in the intensive care unit for 4 days.
 
18-year-old Yusuf Uluğ, who was grazing his sheep in the Hêvrês village of Bitlis on August 14, was seriously injured when the military object he found exploded. Uluğ's life is still in danger. It was stated that Uluğ, who was taken to Bitlis State Hospital after the explosion, had to be transferred to another hospital on the grounds that the hospital did not have sufficient technical equipment and specialist doctor staff. The hospitals in Van, Erzurum, Diyarbakır, Batman and Malatya refused to treat Uluğ on the grounds that there was no room. Uluğ was then transferred to Harran University Faculty of Medicine Research and Application Hospital in Urfa.
 
As a result of the explosion, Uluğ's right hand was severed, and shrapnel hit his head and chest. Uluğ, whose life is in danger, has been kept in intensive care for 4 days.
 
Uluğ, who goes to Bitlis as a shepherd from the Baykan district of Siirt every year with his family, is not the first person to be injured as a result of the explosion of military ammunition. According to the Report on Violations of the Right to Life of Children in the environment of armed conflict between 2011 and 2021, published by the Human Rights Association (İHD) Diyarbakır Branch Documentation Center on November 19, 2021, 39 people lost their lives as a result of the explosion of mines-released objects in the provinces of the region.
