HDP: We were prevented from reaching people

Salim Kaplan, co-chair of the HDP Local Administrations, said that blocking aid from HDP municipalities is a collective punishment for the people of Elazığ and Malatya.
"Aid to rural neighborhoods has not arrived," Kaplan said.

HDP Muş MP Şevin Coşkun said: "The government delivered aid to their supporters. 60 villages did not received any help."
