Call For Emergency Relief and Taking Action for People of Cizre
The curfew declared in Cizre town by Şırnak City Goveor's Office on 04109120|5 until
a further notice, in other words, FOR AN UNLIMITED PEzuOD still remains in force
on its sixth day.
In such a big settlement like Cizre with its population more than one hundred thousand
(100,000) pub|ic life has halted completeiy for a week now. The inhabitants of the city
not have been barred from going out only, but also they have been deprived ofprincipal
public services such as electricity, water, waste, health, education and so on. On top of
lacking of such services people suffer from shortages of their basic needs of atl kinds
such as food, medicine, infant nutrition, etc. All means of communication have been
disabled by and large with some minor exceptions. Visiting NGO's, representatives of
human rights organisations or other delegations including our Bar Association's delega-
tion have been barred from the entry.
On the other hand, Cizre has been taken under military siege and all the roads leading to
the town centre including the Inteational Silk Road have been closed by military roadb-
locks. Operation of security forces by armoured vehicles to remove barricades ortrenc-
hes that have been erected and dug by some groups stil] continues in the narrow alleys
of the town and in the places habituated by innocent civilians. Civilians, particularly in
Nur, Cudi and Sur neighbourhoods staying in shelters or basements, to avoid being the
target ofheavy weapons, are trying to protect themselves.
Injured civilians, even if they bleed for a long time, cannot reach to a health centre.
Even though the temperature is over 40 centigrade degrees, the corpses ofthe ones die a
natural death cannot be buried by religious ceremonies and obligations. Bodies are kept
in refrigerators or in convenient places such as in the homes where their relatives live.
As of yesterday an injured civilian citizen from Cudi neighbourhood called Abdullah
ÖZCAN who had been shot in his right leg while praying could not have any access to
any health centre for 12 hours and only after three days he managed to reach to Diyar-
bakir for a treatment. Despite all the efforts spent by doctors in a private hospital in
Diyarbakir, yesterday at around l6. 00, Abdullah ÖZCaN's right leg has been amputa-
ted below the knee due to delayed treatment and bleeding for a long time before the
operatıon.
