The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights was informed by reliable sources that tens of Turkmen families entered the Turkish side during the past 48 hours, after allowing them to enter by the Turkish authorities via Bab al-Salamah border crossing gate, the sources said that it is closed now by the Turkish authorities, and the sources also said that about 300 Arab families are waiting since the 17th of January 2016 for allowing them to enter the Turkish side, after they were able to escape from the “Islamic state” controlled areas during the bombing of warplane on ISIS controlled areas near the rebel factions’ controlled areas in the northern countryside of Aleppo, where the organization allowed these families to enter the factions’ controlled areas, these families are now living out on the open and living harsh conditions amid bad weather, also the areas which are in the vicinity of where these families are staying are witnessing clashes and shelling between the Islamic factions against the “Islamic state” which started a few days ago and are still taking place, in conjunction with Turkish bombing on the “Islamic State’s” controlled areas and positions.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is calling the United Nations and the International Red Cross, asking them to stand on their responsibilities towards these families, and to put pressure on the Turkish authorities to allow these 300 families which stay out on the open for days now to enter the Turkish territory as they have allowed the Turkmen families to enter their territory, especially that the area where these families stay is witnessing military operations, which may take the lives of many of them.
