Istanbul, Jan 24, 2026 (AFP) — Turkey's pro-Kurdish DEM party Saturday called for the blockade on the Kurdish-majority town of Kobane in northern Syria to be lifted immediately, warning of a "humanitarian tragedy".

The situation in Kobane had escalated from a crisis into a "deadly catastrophe", the party said, after sending a delegation to visit the area, demanding an immediate end to the siege there and in northern and eastern Syria.
