Over 1,500 Syrians refugees flee to Turkey

MORE than 1,500 Syrian refugees crossed to Turkey yesterday, according to state-run Anatolian news agency, as the Syrian army swept up to the border in its campaign to stamp out anti-government protests.

The provincial government in Hatay said this morning that the total number of refugees registered at the temporary shelter camps had reached 11,739, compared with 10,224 a day earlier. Most of yesterday's influx came from people who had set up makeshift camps just inside Syrian territory, who fled once the army appeared.

Reporters in Guvecci, a Turkish village at the frontier, said the camps on the other side of the border fence appeared to be completely deserted, and they saw no more refugees crossing this morning.
