Turkey prevents its Kurdish citizens from sending aid to Kobani.

For nearly two weeks, Kobani has been under siege; water, electricity, internet, and food supplies have been cut off. Thousands of ISIS terrorists surround the city, seeking to avenge the defeat of their caliphate against the Kurds. Erdogan was previously very keen for ISIS to capture the city, which is now regarded as a symbol of ISIS's defeat. Currently, Erdogan's government is blocking any humanitarian aid from reaching the more than half a million besieged Kurds in Kobani. Due to this blockade, several children have already lost their lives because of the lack of milk and medical supplies.Watch: Another 25 aid trucks, sent by Kurds in Diyarbakır toward the besieged Kurdish city of Kobani, were stopped by the Turkish army on the Suruç road. Soldiers forced the trucks to turn around and redirected them to Antep, preventing the aid from reaching Kurds in Syria
