Turkish authorities have stopped a convoy of twenty-five trucks carrying essential aid from reaching Kobane, a Kurdish-majority town in northern Syria currently surrounded by the Syrian army. The aid, which included water, milk, baby formula, and blankets, was collected in Diyarbakir and organized by local NGOs. Despite a recent agreement between the Syrian government and Kurdish groups to integrate Kurdish institutions, the convoy was blocked at the Turkey-Syria border. Humanitarian organizations have condemned the move, citing the urgent needs of Kobane residents, who are facing shortages of food, water, and electricity as the siege continues.
