New footage has been received from a house in Amed's Sur district where dozens remain trapped amid intensified attacks by state forces on the 85th day of the siege and onslaught. A woman speaking in the video says; “There are wounded among us. We cannot breathe.”

The people in the historic district of Sur are facing a threat of imminent massacre like in Cizre where over 150 people awaiting evacuation had been killed savagely in mass two weeks ago.

The footage shows 6 children aged between 2 and 11, two of whom are suffering wounds. All the buildings around are seen to have been demolished as a result of heavy artillery and tank strikes by Turkish military and police forces.

A woman speaking in the video tells the followings as to the circumstances they are facing; "Civilian areas are being bombed and shelled with tanks. We as local people are being aggrieved. Some of us are wounded. Kadir was hit by a bomb that fell on our house yesterday. He got wounded in the arm and head. We cannot breathe since yesterday evening. They (state forces) are continuously firing tear gas. We are surprised to see how a state is making effort to kill its own people. We do not understand why the state is killing civilians."

The woman calls attention to their critical situation, and states that there are hundreds of other families victimised by the ongoing offensive in Sur. She notes that they can receive no news from these people, adding; "We are the people. We are civilians. Do not bomb us. Do not murder our children."
