19 wounded people trapped in a basement in Cizre's Cudi neighborhood for 7 days are still waiting for an ambulance.

While the ongoing torture has since caused death of 6 people who bled to death, four others are in a life-threatening condition at the moment; one unconscious and three on the brink of death.

Ambulances, including those belonging to Cizre Municipality, aren't allowed access to the scene which remains under attack of Turkish forces that pretend to be engaged in “clashes with terrorists” in the area. As the aggression of state forces left top three floors of the building demolished already, the trapped civilians do not have water even for the past three days.

Earlier today, one of those in the basement managed to unscrew the bolts of the water treatment tank there and take out one liter of water, which, however, sufficed only to wet everyone's lips one by one with cotton.

DBP Party Assembly Member Mehmet Yavuzer who is one of the wounded in the basement said the followings in a SMS he has sent to HDP MP Faysall Sarıyıldız who is also in the town;

"I will kill myself. It is enough ,now. I don't want to hear any more scream for water. I don't want anyone to call me anymore. Water, heval, just water..."
