CIVILIANS came under fire as they made their way to Sere Kaniye as part of a peace convoy today as Turkey and its jihadist allies continued fighting despite agreeing to a ceasefire.

Gunshots were heard as the vehicles which contained mainly women and children made their way from Tel Temir to the besieged town in northern Syria.

They were demanding the opening of a humanitarian corridor to allow residents and the wounded safe passage out of Sere Kaniye so they could receive treatment for their injuries.
