None
Turkey will set up a camp in Syria to host people evacuated from the city of Aleppo but will continue to take in the sick and wounded to its own hospitals, Turkish officials said on Friday.
Two potential sites, around 3.5 km (2.2 miles) inside Syria, have been identified for a camp with the capacity to host up to 80,000 people, two senior officials told Reuters.
"Work on the infrastructure for the camp will begin shortly," a separate official from Turkish aid organisation IHH said by phone from inside Syria. The camp will be jointly set up by the Turkish Red Crescent, disaster agency AFAD and IHH.
