Syrians displaced by Idlib assault take shelter near Turkey

When fighting drove Bahr Diab from his home in southern Idlib last month, it was the fourth time he and his family had been displaced since the start of Syria's seemingly endless conflict.

 

From his pre-war home on the Lebanese border, Diab moved first east and then north searching for safety, finally taking shelter near Turkey where he hopes his wife and four children will be safe from air strikes and ground assaults.

 

"Every time I get to a new place I build a house, but we are forced to leave it and move on," he said at a makeshift camp a few miles from the border, where hundreds of people endure the mud and winter weather.

 

"That's my tent over there, that's my home. Four homes later we decided to settle for blankets for winter."
