Residents of the Cizre district of southeastern Turkey's ??rnak province, where a nine-day curfew ended as of 7:00 a.m. on Sept. 12, remained deprived of health and funeral services and access to food for days, according to witnesses and fresh photographs. 

People flocked to stores that opened early in the morning as a few pharmacies were opened. 
Bodies of people that were killed during the clashes in Cizre were seen at their houses, while injured people were trying to treat themselves as no ambulances worked. 

Power and water was cut, phone and internet connection was poor. 

After the lifting of the curfew, people began visiting the families of the victims to extend condolences. 

"My father deteriorated yesterday [Sept 11], but we could not call the ambulance since telephone was not working. We could not take him [to the hospital] because of the clashes although we have a car," said ?ahin Aç?k, the son of Mehmet Emin Aç?k who died of heart attack said Sept. 12. 

Bahattin Ye?il said their house was targeted as they were eating.
 
"One bullet remains under my chest another on my leg. My son was shot on the leg. A bullet injured my daughter-in-law.  We stopped bleeding ourselves. We still cannot reach the ambulance," he said. 

People were being allowed to move in and out of the city despite continued army checks at roadblocks.
The government had said the curfew was necessary for a military "anti-terror" operation in the city against suspected members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers...
