Şehit olan fedakar Kızılaycı arkadaşımıza Allah’tan rahmet, ailesine ve hareketimize sabır ve baş sağlığı, yaralı arkadaşımıza da acil şifalar diliyorum.

Kızılay ve İnsani yardım çalışanları çatışma bölgesinde de olsa hedef değildir, hedef alınamaz!
Acımız gerçekten büyük.
"Humanitarian aid workers are not targets even if they are on conflict zones," Kınık tweeted on Sept. 14.
Turkish Defense Ministry also offered its condolences, saying that works are ongoing to apprehend "the terrorists responsible for the attack."
Uluslararası hukukta dokunulmaz olan bir yardım kuruluşuna bile saldıracak kadar alçalan teröristlerin yakalanması için karadan ve havadan her türlü tedbir alınmaktadır. Şehidimizin kanı yerde kalmayacak, teröristler bu saldırının hesabını misliyle ödeyecektir.
