The building where 28 slain and wounded people remain trapped in Cudi neighborhood is persistently being shelled for the past 3 three days. While the wounded people, 4 of whom died of blood loss since, are still trapped in the basement, the building has largely collapsed due to the ongoing aggression.
A mortar shell fired by Turkish military hit the house late yesterday evening. The shell exploded in the second storey of the building, as a result of which those in the basement are facing even heavier circumstances since, having difficulty in breathing even.
Cizre People's Council co-chair Mehmet Tunç, who is together with the injured people for 4 days, told this morning that Sultan Irmak (15), Veli Çiçek (13) and Nusret Bayar are in a rapidly deteriorating situation.
Tunç underlined that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will be responsible for probable grave consequences, and called everyone to go there to help them, adding that those remaining silent on the situation there will also be as responsible as Erdoğan himself.
In the meantime, HDP Şırnak MP Faysal Sarıyıldız, who is in town himself, told ANF that he and mothers of the wounded will go to the neighborhood in the coming hours today to reach the trapped casualties under fire.
