UNHCR Says 'Hundreds of Thousands' in Harm's Way After Ankara Launched Offensive in Syria

"Hundreds of thousands of civilians in northern Syria are now in harm’s way. Civilians and civilian infrastructure must not be a target," UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said in a statement.

The agency called on all parties involved in the conflict to adhere to international humanitarian law, including providing access to the area to aid organizations.

The agency expressed concern that the newly-launched military operation would worsen the already dire displacement situation in the Middle Eastern country, citing an estimated 5.6 million Syrian refugees and another 6.2 million Syrians that were internally displaced.
