Families who are living together in thin tents say they have survived thanks to aid that has reached them from Rojava, but complain they have not received any airdrops of aid. With the aid corridor having closed they are concerned where aid will come from.
Families add that everyday their children are falling ill, saying they are worried they will not be able to survive the winter in the present conditions.
