敘利亞難民滯留土敘邊境
While Turkey says it has reached its "capacity to absorb" refugees, Turkish aid workers are providing tents and supplies for Syrian refugees who have gathered at the border between the two countries.
Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus told cnn-Turk television Sunday Turkey has already taken in 3 million refugees, the vast majority of them Syrians.
Turkey has closed its Oncupinar border opposite Syria's Bab al-Samam frontier where thousands of Syrians massed Sunday for a third day waiting for the border to open. Turkish officials say up to 35,000 Syrians are waiting at the border. The Syrians are escaping a Russia-backed government offensive in the Syrian city of Aleppo.
It was not immediately clear, however, what has to happen before the crossing is opened.儘管土耳其表示其接納難民的能力已經飽和，土耳其援助人員仍在爲敘利亞難民提供帳篷和其他補給，這些難民目前滯留在土敘邊界。
土耳其副總理庫爾圖爾穆什星期日對美國有線電視新聞網說，土耳其已經收容了300萬難民，其中絕大多數是敘利亞人。
土耳其關閉了進入敘利亞的奧庫皮納爾過境點，成千上萬敘利亞人星期日已是連續第3天滯留那裏，等待重開邊界。土耳其官員說，在邊界等候的敘利亞人多達3萬5千人。這些敘利亞人是爲了逃離得到俄羅斯支持的敘利亞政府軍對阿勒頗的進攻。
目前還不清楚，土耳其在什麼情況下才會重開邊界。
