Situation in northeast Syria devolving quickly: 100,000 civilians on the move, Turkish-backed forces pushing on key border town, SDF and a local medic report that U.S.-backed forces have pulled reinforcements from the al-Hol camp.
Gut-wrenching stories from Syria as 100,000 displaced as Turkish offensive rolls on. One woman said she spends daylight hours combing morgues for her uncle, then hides in a packed-out apartment at night. Another said adults too scared to calm their children as bombing rings out.
“I cannot describe what I have seen. In the morgue, we saw a young man’s body with a severed leg on the bed next to him. In the hospital, there was an old man, wounded and just lost. He seemed to have no family.” washingtonpost.com/world/middle_e…
Ain Issa displacement camp now under control of Turkish-backed forces, aid groups say. Annexe of 950 foreign women & children is totally empty. Unclear if evacuated or fled. As staff pulled out, women attacked camp administration offices, desperate to take their ID cards back.
