According to the UN, at least 160,000 civilians in northeast Syria have been displaced since the Turkish offensive began on Oct. 9
The Turkish military incursion into northeast Syria is compounding an already dire humanitarian situation and forcing tens of thousands of people from their homes, according to human rights monitors.
The Kurdish-led authority said Tuesday more than 275,000 people have been displaced, Reuters reported.
