Turkey's constant shelling and bombing is taking a huge toll in lives of soldiers and civilians. Efrin city is estimated to have had 700,000 citizens when this started. This says 150,000 have left. Water, power and food supplies have been cut off. Smaller towns were cleared, property taken back to Turkey to sell and in many cases the towns were flattened with shelling.

This is a massacre, but YPG/YPJ and SDF have killed large numbers of Turkey's FSA Jihadi Militia fighters. And have destroyed over 40 tanks.

This will be a massacre if Turkey manages to overrun Efrin. If Syria had air support, this would not happen. But they don't.

Sadly no one in the West will care. Our governments only seem to get up in arms when Communists or Terrorists are being dispatched...and that is not the case here.

From March 16th

Overwhelmed and angry nurse at a hospital in Afrin:
NATO is killing our people, not just Turkey. Europe and U.S. share responsibility in the killing of these people here.

Why can’t the U.S., Israelis Egyptians or Saudis just kill the terrorist Erdogan already?
