We came to Suruc from Stockholm 5 days ago and have since been trying to help the people of Kobane from here. Since the bombing at the Amara Centre the border has been made almost impossible to cross. If you try you will be shot on sight by the Turkish military. We heard heavy calibre shots ten minutes ago from that direction.
Even basic aid like water and medecins are difficult to get across. We stopped by the depot for shipments and saw at keast 6 trucks full of water. They were kept there for 4 days before let through. No reason given. There are other worse examples.
The point though is that the blocking of our page occured at the same time as when 65 pro-kurdish websites were closed down by Turkish authorities. It's not unlikely this ban is related. It's not difficult to organise a number of Facfbook accounts to mass report pages. Facebook should at least reconsider.
