Hawler - Some non governmental organizations in South Kurdistan have stated that the KRG (Iraqi Kurdistan) authority prevented them from delivering humanitarian aid and medical supplies to West Kurdistan (Northern Syria) under the pretext of the existence of problems at the Semalka bridge.
Sorash Ameen, a member of the Committee of Assisting Western Kurdistan, said that the Kurdistan Regional Government have not let them deliver humanitarian aid and urgent medical supplies to people in Western Kurdistan.
Sorash stated they had repeatedly called the presidency of the KRG and that they had not yet responded to their request.
He also added that the closing the crossing border is a political action playing politics with the lives of the people of Western Kurdistan.
Some NGOs also said that the humanitarian aid and medical supplies are still sitting in the stores because of the closure of the border by KRG, and that they are afraid that the medical supplies will expire before delivering them to the people west Kurdistan who urgently need them.
