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.

I sincerely hope this is not true - the KRG would have no reason to block aid !

I should of included the source, my bad. Coming directly from PYD's website should give it some legitimacy, but it is hard to believe.

With everything that is happening I would not be inclined to believe all that is written:

“Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear.”
Edgar Allan Poe

I believe that due to recent events the PYD may be trying to improve their image - they may be using a misunderstanding to caste aspersions at the KRG in an attempt to show them in a bad light - but is it logical for the KRG to have refused genuine medicial supplies from reaching those in need - NO it is NOT

[Shirko]

There mightbpf been somekind of technical delay or legal issue that caused the KRG to block the aid (this might be a temperary issue. But lime what Anthea said, tbe PYD mignt just trying to gain a somekind of edge by accusing the KRG of this.

PYD wants a total open border ,which will never ever happen considering security concerns ,so any time there is any delay at the border ,you see Them up in arms making all sort of accusations . PYD's alliance with Goran /Iraq/Iran does not help either .

PYD wants a total open border

But only for itself, not for other Western Kurdish peshmergas.

Sad but true it is not possible to have an open border - and we all know that the Goran movement would do anything to discredit parts of the KRG government especially Barzani
