Siege on Kobanê continues: Staple foods and baby formula needed

Share:

NEWS CENTER - The humanitarian situation in Kobanê, which has been under heavy siege for 23 days, is deteriorating day by day, with the population unable to access baby formula and basic necessities.

 
The siege imposed by the Syrian Interim Government factions on the city of Kobanê (Kobani) entered its 23rd day, as meetings continued between delegations from the city administration and representatives of the Interim Government, within the framework of the January 29 agreement, without reaching an agreement to end the crisis.
 
The siege has exacerbated the humanitarian and living conditions inside the city, with residents experiencing a severe shortage of medicine and baby formula, in addition to a significant scarcity of food and basic necessities, further increasing the suffering of the population under the current circumstances.
 
Meanwhile, the Kobanê Electricity Body announced on Monday that its technical teams had successfully repaired the cables damaged by the recent attacks, allowing for the restoration of electricity to the city after an outage.
 
Despite the ongoing siege, Kobanê is hosting more than 200,000 displaced people, distributed across approximately 70 shelters within the city, who sought refuge there after fleeing attacks on their areas in recent months.
 
The people of Kobanê affirm their continued resilience in the face of the siege, stressing that resistance is their choice to preserve the gains achieved in recent years.
