FBR Report: "Humanitarian Corridor Open and Evacuating the Wounded in Seri Kani, Syria"

The Free Burma Rangers (FBR) is a multi-ethnic humanitarian service movement. They bring help, hope and love to people in the war zones of Burma (Myanmar) and the Middle East. Groups send teams to be trained, supplied and sent into the areas under attack to provide emergency assistance and human rights documentation. Together with other groups, the teams work to serve people in need.

Dear friends,

We are still near Seri Kani, at the front, with our FBR medical team and ambulances ready to help those under attack here. We ask for this humanitarian corridor to remain open so we can get the wounded out of Seri Kani. We had tried to get in Friday but only made it about three kilometers because the FSA blocks the way. They fired mortars, machine guns, and we were shelled by artillery.

Dark smoke rises as the result of artillery strikes near Seri Kani, north of us. Dark smoke rises as the result of artillery strikes near Seri Kani, north of us.

At 7 a.m. Saturday morning, nine rounds came in and all night long the FSA shot at SDF positions. We do not know if the nine rounds were from the Turks or FSA.

Then, at 10:30 a.m. that morning, heaving fighting occurred south of Seri Kani/Ras Al Ein with machine guns, mortars, and artillery between Seri Kani and Tel Tamir. With the ceasefire, there have been no airstrikes here but artillery and ground attacks continue.

That evening, at 5:40 p.m., a miracle happened and we were able to get 37 wounded people out of Seri Kani ...

... Thank you all for praying and all your hard work at every level.
