The neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyah in Aleppo are witnessing escalated attacks by militias affiliated with the Syrian Transitional Government and the Turkish state, and heroic resistance by the Internal Security Forces and the residents.
While attacks have continued unabated for the fifth consecutive day, the People’s Council of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyah Neighborhoods said in a written statement that they were making great efforts to evacuate those injured in the mercenary groups’ attacks.
The Kurdish Red Crescent (Heyva Sor a Kurd) is also continuing its efforts to evacuate wounded people from the besieged neighborhoods via the town of Deir Hafer. A similar aid mission had been blocked the previous day despite coordination with the relevant authorities. According to the organization, the evacuation was blocked by troops of the Syrian transitional government, who control access via Deir Hafer.
