FROM: within months 120,000 Syrians adrift

Certainly 120,000 people since the beginning of this month, beaten on the run in the Syrian provinces of Aleppo, Hama and Idlib.

Most refugees remain near their own region or go to camps on the Turkish border, said a spokesman for the humanitarian coordinators of the UN (OCHA).

The affected region is the scene of a Syrian army offensive. The government army is airborne for roughly three weeks assisted by large Russian air strikes.
