DAMASCUS, March 11 (Xinhua) -- The Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) said Sunday it was ready to deliver humanitarian aid to the Kurdish-controlled Afrin enclave in northern Syria.

In a statement, SARC said it is getting ready to deliver an urgent humanitarian aid convoy to Afrin as well as the Tal Rifat area in the northern countryside of Aleppo province in northern Syria.

It said the delivery is in response to the increasing humanitarian needs in Afrin and Tal Rifat.

On March 1, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) delivered aid to the aforementioned areas.

Afrin has been subject to a Turkish-led military campaign targeting the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG).

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Sunday that the Turkish forces and allied Syrian rebels are advancing in Afrin near the city itself after capturing areas in the countryside of Afrin near the Turkish border.

The observatory, which relies on a network of activists on ground, said the humanitarian situation in the city is tough as thousands have fled their homes in the countryside and sought refuge in the city of Afrin while the area's one million inhabitants also live in hard conditions.

Turkey launched the "Olive Branch" operation on Jan. 20 to wipe out the YPG, which Ankara considers as a terror group affiliated to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party.
