Resistance against attacks in Sur on 24th day
DİYARBAKIR (DİHA) - Popular resistance against the siege and onslaught by Turkish forces continues in Amed's (Diyarbakir) Sur district in its 24th day.
Since last night, clashes have intensified in Savaş, Hasırlı and Kurşunlu neighborhoods which also remain under a heavy and uninterrupted artillery fire by state forces.
Bombardments by state forces have greatly devastated the district and left many houses demolished. Places of worship are among the places targeted and shelled by Turkish forces, including Hacı Hamit Mosque close to the Foor Footed Minaret. The minaret of the mosque has been riddled with bullets.
The local people in the district are trying to continue their life despite the heavy bombardments and clashes. People have run out of basic foodstuff and baking bread to meet their needs.
