Battle for Kobane nytt:
Alla tre sjukhusen är förstörda, döda IS medlemmar ruttnar längst med gatorna i mängder och börjar lukta och "förorenar" luften i staden.
IS har kvar ca: 30-40% av staden men det sker framgång trots övermanningen från IS sida, ett stort problemen är självmordsbombare som infiltrerar och bombar.
Dom har fått nyheter från andra ställen som Raqqa att det har varit många förluster av mannar mot IS.
YPG går framåt åt väster.
Dom hoppas på framgångar åt öster, där bombar IS in mot staden med tanks och artillerier.
After weeks of what seemed to be an unstoppable Isis onslaught, Kobani’s fighters are steadily pushing back to save their town.
In part due to US-led coalition air strikes, the Kurdish forces, who are outgunned and outmanned, have made progress and are now holding their positions, despite Isis using suicide bombers to infiltrate the city.
All three of the city’s hospitals have been destroyed, according to sources inside Kobani. They wounded now rely on a mobile clinic, which has run out of medicine.
The bodies of Isis fighters line the streets, said Kurdish fighters, who say they would bury them if only they had the time. The stench of the corpses fills the air.
“
They are shelling the city from the east side and the bombs are landing in the centre of the city, but no casualties yet today,” said Luqman Ahmad, a 34-year-old civilian. “We are very happy because we have heard from
Jarablus and Raqqa that they have a lot of casualties from Isis – they have received a lot of bodies. We are very happy because the YPG [the People’s Protection Units] made progress today too in the west as well as the south. Inshallah we’ll have the same in the east soon.”
While
Isis retains approximately 30 to 40 per cent of the eastern part of the town, Kurdish forces have pushed the militants back to the western side and now control a hill to the west called Tel Shair and battles continue in the surrounding villages.
According to the prime minister of the Kobani canton, Anwar Muslim, the forces have
made progress on the western front and are now able to protect the thousands of civilians collected there who are waiting to cross the border into Turkey.
