Tens of thousands of Kurds flee Syria
Istanbul (CNN) - [Breaking news update 8:04 a.m. ET]As many as 200,000 people have fled the area surrounding the Syrian Kurdish city of Kobani, also known as Ayn al-Arab, in just four days as ISIS advanced into the area, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says. It's the biggest single displacement since the Syrian conflict began in 2011, the London-based monitoring group says. Most have gone to Turkey. Turkey's semi-official Anadolu News Agency said 130,000 Syrian refugees have entered Turkey since Friday. The United Nations said Sunday that more than 100,000 had entered in Turkey in just two days.
