2. Syrian refugees update 2012
Syrians by the thousands are fleeing the violence in their home country and seeking
refuge in neighboring countries. Turkey this week is said to be considering a buffer
zone in Syria to secure its own national security as well as aid fleeing civilians.
Turkey is already sheltering some 17,000 of those who have fled. The British-based
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Tuesday that nearly 10,000 people have
been killed in the yearlong conflict in Syria. A cease-fire agreement accepted by
Syria Tuesday that was drawn up by United Nations envoy Kofi Annan was met
with skepticism, and fighting continued between rebels and President Bashar
Assad’s soldiers. Lloyd Young (32 photos total)
