As the “Islamic State” (ISIS) closed in on a northern Syrian border town of Ein al-Arab today (Sunday), the UN said that more than 100,000 refugees had already fled into Turkey,the numbers were expected to rise much higher.
The Kurds have appealed to to the young to help their ethnic brothers to help push back the ISIS, which has seized huge sections of Iraq and Syria in the past months and have proclaimed a caliphate in this heart of the Middle East.
“The ‘Islamic State’ is continuing its advance, and everywhere they pass through they leave dead, wounded. There are many who are simply missing that we believe to have been kidnapped,” Dr. Welat Avar told to Reuters via telephone from the town.
