NEWS CENTER - The siege imposed on Kobanê (Kobani, Syria) by groups affiliated with the Syrian Interim Government continues into its 22nd day. Humanitarian and living conditions are deteriorating day by day.
 
Despite negotiations aimed at implementing the agreement reached between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Damascus on 29 January and announced on 30 January, Kobanê has been under siege for 22 days.
