Despite the ceasefire agreement between the United States and Turkey, the Turkish occupation army continues to bombard the town of Zirkan and the city of Serekaniye with planes and guns, and despite the efforts of the Kurdish Red Crescent to reach Serekaniye in order to evacuate the injured civilians from the city.

The administration of the Kurdish Red Crescent in northern and eastern Syria Jamila Hami said in this regard that the Turkish state is violating the ceasefire agreement, and hinders the arrival of medical staff to the city of Serekaniye.

Jamila Hami also confirmed that the Turkish occupation army and its mercenaries targeted and killed civilians. "The Turkish occupation army is targeting civilians directly. We now have difficulty in reaching the injured civilians. Besides, we were unable to reach the city yesterday and we were directly targeted, forcing us to return to the city of Tal Tamr."

"We must reach the wounded. We appeal to open a humanitarian corridor in order to save civilians. The international forces are responsible for obstructing our access to it to provide assistance to the wounded civilians, our work is humanitarian and moral. The obstruction of our work demonstrates the brutality of the Turkish army and its mercenaries, they must be held accountable for these actions. "

She called on the Kurdish Red Crescent administration Jamila Hami to open a humanitarian corridor, to save children and women and the elderly and ambulance, said "It is necessary to reach civilians to do our humanitarian tasks."
