Turkey blocks aid delivery to earthquake survivors in northwest Syria

The Turkish state does not allow the delivery of humanitarian aid prepared by the Autonomous Administration for earthquake survivors in northwest Syria.

30 fuel tankers arranged by the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria to be delivered to the earthquake survivors living in the areas occupied by the Turkish state have been blocked at the Umm al-Julud border crossing between Manbij and Jarablus since yesterday.

Despite the repeated calls by the Autonomous Administration, the Turkish state does not allow humanitarian aid to be delivered to the regions in question.

Ciwan Mela İbrahim, Co-Chair of the Autonomous Administration Press Office and a member of the crisis desk, told ANHA: “We are still waiting at the Umm al-Julud. So far, no one has come to receive the aid we are trying to deliver.”
