Turkish forces stationed at bases in the villages of Al-Manakh and Al-Azizah prevented vehicles carrying displaced people returning from the camps from reaching their villages today via the Tel Tamer–Zerkan road, after the road was cut off in the areas of Al-Manakh, Al-Faisaliyah, Al-Derbo, Al-Konaihir, Al-Saeed, and Al-Hajjaj. This forced the families to turn back and prevented them from reaching their villages.

The fourth batch of displaced people from the Serê Kaniyê and Tel Tamer countryside set out on Thursday morning, heading to their villages and lands. The batch comprises around 514 families, totaling 4,584 people.
