Dear Sir / Madam,

I am writing to request assistance in ensuring safety of approximately 400-450 civilians trapped in the Turkish air force and military operation in the mountains of Northern Iraq.   
At this moment, Turkish air force is conducting an intensive bombing operation against the PKK in the Pishdar District of the Qandil mountains. Approximately 400-450 civilians, women, men, children, who live and work in the area as farmers and shepherds, are trapped in the vicinity of the bombing. They would like to leave to safety but can not in fear of being targeted.

I would like to ask the representation of the Republic of Turkey in the ___________  to take action in ensuring protection of the civilian population in Northern Iraq. Please contact the pertinent offices of the Government of Turkey and request a pause to the bombings in the region so that the civilian population can leave the area and move to safety.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Kindly,
