Yet another death has occurred in the basement where 9 out of 37 trapped people burned to death as a result of attacks by state forces in Şırnak's Cizre district.

Cizre People's Council co-chair Mehmet Tunç who also takes shelter in the mentioned building under fire, stated that 16-year-old Abdullah Gün was shot dead by state forces after he went out of the basement for a while today.

While the death toll in the basement rose to 10 since yesterday, there are a total of 27 people with injuries, including children, many of whom have suffered severe burns.

The building is located in Cudi neighborhood where 15 wounded, 7 slain and 9 exhausted people are stuck in another basement for 14 days.

A fire started by heavy attacks of Turkish forces on the top floors of the building bounced to the basement where people took shelter, as a result of which 9 heavily wounded people burned to death. Fire squads were denied access to the scene on alleged grounds of "clashes", an excuse persistently put forward by Turkish forces in an obvious attempt to hinder the rescue of trapped civilians, as is the case regarding the other basement from which no news has been received for the past 6 days.

Earlier today, Turkish forces surrounded the building with armored vehicles and made announcements to the wounded people stuck inside, saying "Surrender or you will be responsible for consequences". Artillery attacks against the building intensified in the evening hours.
