PKK blocks civilian exit from Afrin: UN

“Local authorities” continue to block the exodus of civilians from Syria’s Afrin region, the UN spokesman said Monday, referring to PKK/YPG terrorists.

United Nations spokesman Stephane Dujarric said that the UN has no direct contact with civilians in Afrin and it is critical that people be able to move freely.

Dujarric added that nearly 5,000 civilians have managed to leave the region of northern Syria.
