Hundreds of displaced Syrians have fled into Turkey on Thursday after Syrian troops backed by tanks approached their makeshift camps in the bordering village of Khirbet al-Joz, the AFP news agency has reported.
They were flanked by Turkish paramilitary police vehicles and minibuses, called apparently to ferry the refugees to tent cities the Turkish Red Crescent has erected in the border province of Hatay, where more than 10,000 Syrians are already sheltering.
