21 dead since Turkey-Syria ceasefire

Damascus: Twenty civilians and Turkish soldier have been killed since a ceasefire was agreed three days ago to halt Ankara’s offensive in northeastern Syria, authorities said on Sunday.
The Kurdish Red Crescent said that of the 20 civilian victims, four died in a hospital in the Syrian border town of Ras al-Ain which was partially destroyed and besieged by Turkish forces, reports Efe news.
“Since the ceasefire agreement between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Turkish government, Kurdish Red Crescent teams recorded 20 civilians killed and 20 wounded,” the NGO said Sunday morning in its daily report.
Since the ceasefire was penned between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and US Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday night, the city of Ras al-Ain has been under attack by Turkish forces and Syrian rebels backed by Ankara.
Rebels that oppose the Syrian Bashar al-Assad government have blocked access to a humanitarian convoy that was aiming to reach the only hospital in Ras al-Ain. It finally reached its destination on Saturday.
“Finally, a convoy of Kurdish Red Crescent ambulances and the medical aid NGO Cadus arrived at the main hospital in Ras al-Ain and evacuated 30 injured and four lifeless bodies, which we did not have the opportunity to rescue before,” the Kurdish Red Crescent said.
