AMED - Humanitarian aid collected and sent to Kobanê by the Amed City Protection and Solidarity Platform has been returned to Amed because permission was not granted.

 

Humanitarian aid collected and sent to Kobanê by the Amed City Protection and Solidarity Platform has been returned to Amed with the lorries five days later because, despite all efforts, no transit permit was granted.

 

The aid convoy, which set off from Amed for Kobanê five days ago, was stopped on the Riha and Pirsûs route. During negotiations, it was stated that the aid could only pass through Azez. However, when the platform delegation was again denied passage, the platform members decided to return the aid lorries to Amed. According to the information obtained, the aid lorries arrived in Amed last night and the collected aid was unloaded at the Amed Fairgrounds.

 

Despite all the efforts of civil society organisations and the DEM Party, no result was achieved in the diplomatic negotiations. While humanitarian aid could not be delivered to the people of Kobanê, the aid lorries returned to Amed.
