district of Khuzdar has become the center of a severe military offensives bybthe occupational foreign troops of Pakistan that has led to a growing humanitarian crisis. Known historically for its resistance and revolutionary roots tracing back to leaders like Nawab Noroz Khan Shaheed and Safar Khan Shaheed and thousands other Baloch patriot masses has long been seen as a symbol of defiance in Balochistan. However in recent months the situation has worsened significantly for the residents of Zehri. For the past eight months it had been under the control of the security and defense forces of the republic of Balochistan the Baloch Sarmachars. On August 11 the invading Army of our rogue neighbour Pakistan' attempted to enter the area but failed to take control due to mass resistance resistance. Then, on September 25th, the occupying forces have launched a full-scale ground and aerial offensive, deploying heavy weaponry, fighter jet aircrafts, helicopters, and drones. The unprovoked assault caused widespread destruction. Homes were damaged, solar panels vital for the village’s electricity farmers were destroyed, livestock was taken or killed, and entire fields were burned or ruined by tanks. Reports from local sources reveals grim reality the army has turned the Zehri hospital into a military camp along with a nearby rest house that now houses troops. A Village Under Siege Since the offensives began Zehri has been placed under a strict and total curfew zone by the occupational forces of Pakistan. The inhabitants are prohibited to leave their homes and movement between Zehri and nearby towns at gun point. As a result, the entire population of the village is now facing a deepening humanitarian catastrophic. Food supplies have run out in many homes. With markets closed and roads blocked, people are unable to access even basic necessities. Relatives of the severely ill people cannot reach to clinics and hospitals for medical emergency, as the hospital has been converted into a military post. One tragic incident involved a pregnant woman who lost her unborn child because she could not get prompt medical care. The local population says the life of the baby could have been saved if the hospital had remained open for civilians. Fields and crops are being destroyed due to a lack of water and care. Local farmers are unable to reach their land, and irrigation systems powered by solar panels are no longer functioning. Disappearances and Drone Strikes Dozens of the young men from the area have reportedly u jected to enforced disappearances since the offensives began. In one incident in Norgama, a nearby village, a drone strike killed Rashid and three other boys. The use of drones in civilian areas has raised serious concerns about indiscriminate bombing. Another Baloch Safia, a local woman who was abducted during the raids was later released but her ordeal reflects the atmosphere of fear and repression. Families live in constant anxiety, not knowing who might be taken next or when the violence will end. Communication Blackout and Isolation Internet services have been shut down for indifinit time and media access to the area remains blocked. With no outside observers and foreign media access the exact number of casualties, hostages and thousands of displaced families requires immediate intervention to stop Baloch slow motion genocide. As the military offensives continues, the people of Zehri are trapped under siege facing hunger fear and uncertainty. Without urgent humanitarian aid and international attention, the crisis threatens to deepen further. People of the area request the UN and international aid agencies are urged to help the Baloch victims of state terrorrism and subjugation.
