Syria's refugee crisis laid bare: ISIS wave of terror drives thousands of frightened families over Turkish border

Thousands of Syrian refugees have crossed the border into Turkey to avoid the threat of ISIS occupation.
Many of those forced to flee were ethnic Kurds who face being raped and murdered at the hands of the brutal terrorist organisation.
The refugees waited for several days in Raqqa city the Tal Abyad region of Syria while Turkish authorities considered their fate. The border was opened around Friday lunchtime allowing thousands of refugees to leave the warzone.
Heavily armed ISIS terrorists, equipped with artillery and tanks have captured more than 20 villages in the Kurdish-controlled area of Kobani.

Ibrahim Halil, a Syrian Kurd who fled across the border with 3,000 other refugees said: 'Our house was destroyed. We have no family no property left. We have nothing now. Everything is gone.'
Many of those who crossed the border had been waiting for 24 hours after Turkey, which is already home to nearly 850,000 registered Syrian refugees, refused to let them in on Thursday.

Earlier, a group of Kurds from Turkey staged a protest at the border, demanding that Kurds fleeing Kobani be allowed in. The security forces fired tear gas to disperse the group.
The battle over Kobani is part of a long-running fight between the Islamic State group and Syria's Kurds that has raged across several areas of northern Syria where large Kurdish populations reside.
