NEWS CENTRE - As resistance against gang attacks grows, the humanitarian crisis in Kobanê deepens.
The Syrian Democratic Forces (QSD) announced yesterday evening that the ceasefire had been extended for 15 days. Despite the ceasefire, a heavy siege on Kobanê continues. It is very difficult to obtain basic necessities, such as baby formula. The electricity, water and fuel crises also continue.
Autonomous Administration institutions are working intensively to settle tens of thousands of refugee families. Tens of thousands of people forced to flee from Afrin, Shehba, Raqqa, Tabqa, Deir ez-Zor and Shadad have taken refuge in the Cizir Canton. Due to the large number of refugees, the relevant committees are struggling to meet their needs. The relevant institutions have called for urgent aid.
Participation in the resistance continues
In addition to all this, the people of the region responded to the QSD's call to arms and began defending their neighbourhoods and villages with weapons wherever they were. Hundreds of young people in South Kurdistan and Rojhilat headed to Rojava to join the resistance there.
A group of young people in Europe are preparing for mobilisation
Kurds in Europe continue to support Rojava with demonstrations. It has been learned that a group of young people in Europe are preparing to join the mobilisation in Rojava.
Although the ceasefire has been extended, the threat of attack continues. Militia groups affiliated with HTS have violated the ceasefire before. Parties in Rojava have called on all Kurds around the world to stand up for Rojava.
