A brief lifting of the curfew exposed the scale of the destruction, as residents packed their belongings before fleeing the district to safety

Turkish health minister has criticized the recent ruling of Turkey's top court that rules vaccination of babies and children without parental consent to be unconstitutional, saying the "broadened immunity program" developed and implemented by the ministry up until the ruling will remain in place.

Residents who fled their homes because of a long curfew in the southeastern district of Silvan have returned to homes and other buildings that were severely damaged during the curfew, news website Radikal has reported.

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu has vowed that military operations in the southeastern district of Silvan "will continue until not a single terrorist remains" amid a curfew in effect for more than 10 days in the deserted town in Diyarbak?r.

A curfew has been declared in four neighborhoods in the Bismil district of the southeastern province of Diyarbak?r, a move that reportedly came after outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants dug trenches and erected barricades on the streets.

A second curfew has been declared in the Cizre district of the southeastern province of ??rnak amid operations to apprehend members of the "terrorist organization," the ??rnak Governor's Office has stated. 

The latest curfew comes less than 48 hours since the controversial last curfew ended.

Operations caused the deaths of three civilians and injured three others in the southeastern province of Diyarbak?r?s Silvan district on Aug. 18, during a period when a curfew had been declared, according to a human rights report prepared by local civil society organizations. 

Three people were killed and seven wounded in the curfew-decreed Yüksekova district of the southeastern province of Hakkari, a Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) deputy has claimed.

Actually, it is not similar - it is exactly the same as the state of emergency that we all know. The streets are guarded by soldiers; so are the malls and the public buildings. There is a curfew at night. There are patrols wandering the ruined streets. During the day, there is fear everywhere: In houses, cars, shops, mothers? hearts?
