The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria withdrew the aid convoy that had been kept waiting at the Umm al-Julud border crossing for 9 days after the Turkish state did not allow the passage of humanitarian aid for the earthquake victims.
The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) prepared 30 trucks of fuel and 20 trucks of humanitarian aid to be delivered to the occupied areas after two devastating earthquakes centered in Maraş province in North Kurdistan (Turkey) inflicted great damage to the border region on February 6.
Despite the efforts of the Autonomous Administration to reach the earthquake victims since February 8, the Turkish state, pursuing political motivations, did not allow the passage of the aid convoy. International delegations' attempts to resolve the problem also remained inconclusive.
After 9 days, the Autonomous Administration withdrew the aid convoy from the Umm al-Julud crossing, located between Manbij and occupied Jarablus, reported ANHA on Thursday.
A statement on the matter is expected to be made soon.
