On the 18th of October, a large convoy of 80 cars and 400 civilians, including the Free Burma Rangers, and people who had traveled from Derik, Qamishlo, Til Temir and Heseke, attempted to get to Ras al Ayn to provide humanitarian aid. It was blocked from entry by TFSA soldiers, according to the SDF.[30][31][32] In the afternoon the SDF said an aid convoy had been let through, after having been prevented from entering the town since Thursday.[33]
