Gire Sipi- 15 thousand of refugees from al-Raqqa people fled IS areas after the Democratic Syrian Forces(SDF) opened corridors for insuring their exiting from the areas of clashes. The escaped reached Ain Issa Camp in one batch.
The western fronts of al-Raqqa especially in the axis of al-Tabqa city are witnessing a rapid progress of SDF on the account of IS mercenaries in al-Raqqa as the forces have achieved a notable advance in the recent days in al-Tabqa city that the fiercest battles between SDF and IS mercenaries are taking place.
As SDF are progressing, the fighters are striving for liberating the civilians that are detained by IS mercenaries. The mercenaries of IS are also using some of civilians as human shields to obstacle SDF progress in the axes of al-Raqqa.
The fighters of SDF insured a safe corridor for the civilians of al-Raqqa villages. 15 thousand civilians fled by the passage on Sunday, and they safely reached Ain Issa Camp for Refugees.
As the number of tents was incomplete in Ain Issa Camp of Refugees, the refugees spent their day in the wilderness amid the dusty atmosphere which increased their sufferings.
The refugees expressed their thanks for SDF for they helped them and opened safe corridors for them to reach the liberated areas. The refugees also called the relief and humanitarian organizations to provide rapid aids to them.
D.H
Raqqa was 240,000 before ISIS made it their capital.
The US has supplied a great deal of military assistance, but it is time the UN stepped in and helped with the humanitarian side. That is one of the things that they actually do a good job of.
I called my congressman again on Friday (4th such call I made) when I heard there were 10,000 displaced persons in a period of just over a week from Raqqa.
Please, will you contact you congressman and senators to plead for UN help in this effort in Syria.
There are a number of air bases that the US is using for war logistics that can handle the Humanitarian aid effort. They are in areas secure enough to justify acting now.
Raqqa Syria Ping!
Thnaks. Will make some calls.
I worry what may come to the area next. Military torment from Erdogan, who I have read is planning to sever the continuity of the Kurds area in northern Syria.
Unverified reports, source looks legitimate says Turkey has made Air attacks in Shingal and Rojava against Kurds positions.
Have not verified through sources that I know. Most of them are busy right now taking care of displaced civilians. For some of them, it is a work of love. Really good people.
Erdogan will act to make ending ISIS harder. He is and Islamist just like ISIS.
He will try to commit genocide before this is over.
