Thousands of Syrians were braving cold and rain at the Turkish border after fleeing a Russian-backed regime offensive on Aleppo that threatens a fresh humanitarian disaster in the country's second city. Around 40,000 civilians have fled their homes over the regime offensive, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor. / AFP / BULENT KILIC / “The erroneous mention[s] appearing in the metadata of this photo by BULENT KILIC has been modified in AFP systems in the following manner: [Oncupinar border gate near Kilis] instead of [ Turkish Cilvegozu crossing gate, in the southern province of Hatay].

Turska je u utorak počela “kontrolirano” primati sirijske izbjeglice koji u velikom broju čekaju na granici, rekao je turski ministar vanjskih poslova Mevlut Cavusoglu, prenose agencije.

Na granicu stiglo 50.000 ljudi

Cavusoglu, koji boravi u posjetu Budimpešti, rekao je da je Turska do sada primila 10.000 od oko 50.000 koliko ih je stiglo na granicu bježeći pred sukobima u Alepu, prenosi Reuters. Humanitarna organizacija IHH objavila je da Turska prima samo ozlijeđene izbjeglice.

Ozlijeđeni su zbrinuti u turskim bolnicama, rekao je za dpa glasnogovornik IHH-a Mustafa Ozbek. Granica je za ostale zatvorena. Cavusoglu je upozorio da bi u Tursku moglo krenuti i milijun ljudi ako se nastavi ruska i sirijska vojna akcija protiv oporbenih snaga. Turska je već primila oko 2,5 milijuna izbjeglica iz Sirije.

Zamjenik turskog premijera Numan Kurtulmus rekao je za agenciju Anadoliju u ponedjeljak da bi se prema granici “u najgorem slučaju” moglo uputiti 600.000 izbjeglica. “Naš prvi cilj je da ih se zbrine izvan Turske”, rekao je.

Poziv Turskoj da otvori granicu za sve civile

UN je u utorak pozvao Tursku da otvori granicu za sve izbjeglice.

“Turska je primila određen broj ozlijeđenih i pripadnika ranjivih skupina. No, mnogima se prelazak granice ne dopušta. Pozivamo Tursku da otvori granicu za sve civile iz Sirije koji bježe pred opasnošću tražeći međunarodnu zaštitu”, rekao je glasnogovornik UNHCR-a Willliam Spindler u Ženevi.

Sirijske vladine snage, uz potporu ruskih zračnih napada i iranskih boraca i boraca libanonskog Hezbollaha, pokrenule su veliku ofenzivu na Alep, koji je godinama podijeljen i u kojem je nekoć živjelo dva milijuna ljudi.

UNHCR je izrazio zabrinutost da bi gotovo 300.000 civila moglo ostati bez hrane ako sirijske snage okruže dijelove grada koje drže pobunjenici, prenosi Reuters.
