AMED - After intense attack began in the morning, 10 mayor explosions occurred in the Sur district of Diyarbakır. The women of the district said that bombs were raining down on them and that the blockade needed to be lifted.

As siege and onslaught have entered the 87th day in the Sur district of Diyarbakır, 10 mayor explosions occured at 10 a.m. According to reports, the basements where civilians have been trapped for 11 days, were bombed. Intense helicopter activity have continued over the district since morning. Remziye Tosun, one of the 200 civilians, said, "The bombs don't just strike the area where we're trapped, they strike the basement we're trapped in. That's oppression, savagery. We don't have any place to go. The tanks fire at random. Then, they say 'there is a corridor.' You tell me how we can get out."

'The blockade has to be lifted right now'

Reyhan Kavak Özbek, former co-chair of the Democratic Regions Party (DBP) of Bağlar contacted our agency and said, "The situation is getting worse here. There are several building in front us. They are demolishing them step by step. They are coming toward us. The children are depressed due to shelling. The children say, 'We will die, they will kill us. The bomb is coming, we have to go somewhere else.' This blockade must be lifted right now or they will kill all of us."
