Turkey's Invasion of Syria Worsens A Humanitarian Crisis
A front-line hospital was abandoned Friday as up to 100,000 people fled Turkey's ground and air offensive.
As a military offensive by Turkey into Syria enters its third day, aid agencies are increasingly concerned. An estimated 100,000 civilians in northeastern Syria have been displaced, at least one displaced-persons camp was relocated out of the line of fire, a front-line hospital was abandoned and critical water infrastructure was taken out of commission, according to the United Nations. All of this is exacerbating a humanitarian crisis that was already one of the world's worst.
