Beirut, Oct 17, 2019 (AFP) — Kurdish authorities in northeastern Syria on Thursday called in a statement for a humanitarian corridor to evacuate civilians from a flashpoint border town encircled by Ankara's forces, as Turkey's offensive enters its ninth day.
The appeal for a civilian exit from Ras al-Ain comes after Turkey's Syrian proxies hit a health facility in the town, trapping patients and staff inside, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
