Kilis, Turkey. Hundreds of thousands of Syrian civilians have fled rebel-help parts of the city of Aleppo. recently, the city has been held under heavy bombing attacks from the Syrian Government. The bombing has emptied whole neighborhoods creating what aid workers have said is one of the largest refugee flows of the entire civil war. As many as 500,000 people have flooded the country side. This has caused growing populations in war-battered cities that are already low on space and supplies and pushing a new wave of refugees into Turkey. Much of this human tide has crashed in a once quiet, peaceful border town, where no the Syrians outnumber the original 90,000 Turkish inhabitants. The Syrian streets are covered with homeless men, women, and children, all desperate for food, water and money. Ambulances are constantly on the move, taking war victims through town to the medical facilities. Attacks on the town of Aleppo have recently accelerated, as the international talks of ending the war have stalled. The Obama administration has begun reviewing its Syria policy to find new ways to pressure the government of president Brashar-al-Assad. While the United States is exploring new potential strategies, analysts say, Mr.Assad is forging ahead with his own strategies. Pounding civilians out of rebel held districts.
I think that the Obama administration should hurry up and consider new strategies to end the Syrian war before it's too late. While they discussed new ways, the war slowed down. But now its started up again and more civilians are dying or becoming homeless from the bombing attacks.
