3:03Now PlayingThe BBC's Feras Kilani gets exclusive access to the Syrian town of Manbij, where an alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters are fighting to drive out the so-called Islamic State (IS). The Syrian Defence Forces (SDF) encircled the northern city last month, trapping thousands of civilians, and fighting is taking place street by street.
