[ON THE GROUND]

Today some hundreds of people were extracted from last remaining #ISIS-controlled territory in #Baghouz, including around 100 fighters and 13 #Yazidi children aged from 5 to 14.
#SDF sources expected up to 2000 to leave today, meaning there could be still more exiting tonight.

They join the 3500 people who had left the #ISIS-controlled camp on Saturday alone, per #SDF figures.
In fact among the 13 children who were rescued from the hands of #ISIS yesterday, 9 are #Yazidi and 4 are #Shia from Til Afar (Iraq).

Once spotted by journalists they were surrounded by dozens of cameras, but #SDF soon brought them away for much-needed food, water - and quiet. ImageImageImageImage

AANES foreign relations dept. co-chair, Bedran Jiya Kurd:

"The theories Turkey are advancing [Ankara attackers coming from Syria] are not true. Turkey wants to legitimize its attacks. The primary aim of the attacks is to destroy our people's existence."

"These attacks are war crimes. All intl. agreements, the Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocols, say civilian infrastructure and civilians should not be a target. It is forbidden. But as has been seen, Turkey violates this. No other states raise their voice against this."
"Turkey wants to create refugees, change the identity of this region. This is a mode of genocide. Murder, creating poverty and hunger, cutting off water, cutting off the essentials of life, aim to destroy our people, make them refugees, make that no one can live in this land."
