Kobane, a Kurdish city in northern Syria, is facing what aid groups warn could become a full-scale humanitarian catastrophe, as a tightening siege by Damascus forces and allied armed groups has cut off food, water, medicine, and communications.

The first convoy of Rudaw’s Ranj campaign arrived in Kurdish-led northeast Syria (Rojava) on Wednesday, delivering humanitarian aid to families affected by a military siege and ongoing clashes in the region.

Syria’s Defense Ministry on Saturday announced a 15-day ceasefire extension between the Syrian Arab Army and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) amid deteriorating security and humanitarian conditions in the northeast.

In northern Duhok province, villagers are caught in the crossfire of a conflict that has destroyed their homes and life’s work.
