1 min de lecture
The town of Tabqa in northeast Syria has become the gateway for refugees who fled the pro-Turkish offensive twenty days ago against Kurdish-controlled areas north of Aleppo. That offensive took place as HTS rebels moved towards Damascus. A stadium in Tabqa has become home to a camp for displaced people. Families left from the areas of Shahba and Tell Rifaat, north of Aleppo, but when they arrived, thousands of people were missing. They are now searching for their missing relatives.
