Turkish ambulances carry oil instead of the wounded in Cizre

While Turkish military and police forces continue to deny ambulances for the civilians wounded and killed by their side, ambulances are carrying oil to the military vehicles that shell people and their living areas in Cizre.

While Turkish military and police forces continue to deny ambulances for the civilians wounded and killed by their side, ambulances are carrying oil to the military vehicles that shell people and their living areas in Şırnak's Cizre district.

Yet another crime against humanity committed by the Turkish state has been exposed with a recent photo taken in Cizre which shows an ambulance with a fuel tank situated inside it being filled with oil at a wayside petrol station.

HDP deputy İbrahim Ayhan described the ambulance service of oil rather than wounded civilians as a scandal and crime against humanity.

Referring to the situation in the basement where nearly 30 slain and wounded civilians remain trapped for 7 days, Ayhan strongly criticised and refuted the Turkish officials' remarks that "ambulances cannot reach the scene due to clashes".

Ayhan recalled that health is a universal right that requires medical service for anyone regardless of the identity, which the AKP state is persistently violating.

Recalling of previous similar incidents with Turkish ambulances, Ayhan said; "We already witnessed ambulances carrying ammunition to ISIS gangs in the near past. Today, we once again see the state's ambulances being used for the benefit of its dirty policies and practices. This truth needs to be known by the public opinion as well."

Ayhan said this crime against humanity inflicted on Kurds is unacceptable, underlining that the AKP state doesn't respect the laws of war, nor the people's resistance and demands.

HDP MP stressed that they will continue their resistance and solidarity with the people and take sides with humanity and honour without taking no single step back.
