While a medical team was performing their duty and attempting to reach the injured, they were targeted by Turkish aircraft in Amuda area near the village of Hatimiyah, resulting in the ambulance being completely out of service.
This is not the first time that the Turkish state has targeted ambulances operating in the humanitarian field, which bear clear Symbols of the Red Cross and Red Crescent.
