Two thousand people that managed to flee from the hands of ISIS have taken refuge in Manbij since yesterday.

The locals from Meksen sub-district, and the villages and towns of Xafse, Xan al-Humur, Humur, Erbaa Kebir and Der Hafir to the west of Manbij have arrived in the city in groups during the last 24 hours.

The immigrants were welcomed by Manbij Military Council members at the entrance of the city, and they were later settled in secured areas in the city center.

The fleeing immigrants stated that they were expecting the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Manbij Military Council fighters to liberate their homes.
