"They claimed the fighting would stop but it didn't, we are attacked on a daily basis, we fled Ras al-Ayn, people from nearby villages want to leave but nowhere to go, we are leaving to nowhere." Abta Abdelghani, a former resident of Ras al-Ayn said.
Aid workers could also be seen providing assistance to civilians on their way to leave their homes. David Eubank, founder of the Free Burma Rangers group said "This is our second trip in Ras al-Ayn to get our wounded and civilians and we went today through the Free Syrian Army, they did not shoot at us, we got the civilians and wounded out, every age from small babies to old people, carried them out."
Turkey's military offensive, dubbed ‘Operation Peace Spring’ began on October 9, days after the White House announced a withdrawal of US troops from the area. Ankara says the aim of the offensive is to establish a 'safe zone' in north eastern Syria.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimates over 130,000 people have been displaced from the Syrian-Turkish border area since the start of the Turkish offensive.
