On Tuesday the human shield protests against Turkey's ongoing air bombing of the Federal Kurdistan Region of Iraq have entered their fourth day in the area between Deri Davetiya and Deri Berkur in Uludere, a region of Þýrnak.

During the protest on Monday night, three people fell ill, however soldiers did not allow ambulances to reach the ill demonstrators. Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) deputy Nursel Aydogan went to a village to obtain medical assistance, but Turkish soldiers blocked the road.

Despite the all interference and hardships, the Peace Mothers Initiative continues to protest the operations.

BDP deputies Nursel Aydogan and Emine Ayna came to the demonstration area to support the Peace Mothers. Soldiers established a check point in Ortasu Village where they are preventing food and medical equipment from coming in or out of the area.

Kurdish youth take the control

The Peace Mothers Initiative are trying to block the Army from performing operations. Kurdish youth also took control of Turkish Army transition points along the roads to the mountains. Soldiers are now implementing identity control in the area.

Despite all the hardships and operations in the Kurdistan Federal Region, demonstrators have not given up. They have been making their Ramadan iftar meals in the protest area with food distributed at sunset. Protest activities continue into the night with tea and panel discussions about upcoming events and the air-strikes in the Kandil Mountains.
