Turkey reopens border to Syrian refugees
Turkey begins accepting onto its territory Syrian refugees fleeing the battle between Kurds and Islamic State jihadists from the Syrian border town of Tal Abyad, an AFP photographer says.
Dozens of Syrian refugees, many carrying sacks of possessions, start passing through the Akcakale border gate onto Turkish territory as thousands more await their turn to cross on other side.
