On 20 October, the Heyva Sor (Kurdish Red crescent) were allowed into the town, and evacuated 30 injured people, both civilians and soldiers. The medical team stated that the town was running low on supplies. The hospital itself had come under attack in a TFSA attempt to capture it.[35] International fighters with the SDF saw combat, and at least one German citizen died in the battle, defending the hospital.[36][37]
