战争导致难民不断增加

Turkey is bracing for the arrival of up to 50,000 more refugees from Syria. That's in addition to the millions who are already there. But the European Union is pushing Ankara to do more to halt the movement of refugees to Europe.

Russia has decided to up the ante in Syria.

"Since the beginning of the operation, our planes have carried out 1,631 sorties, hitting 2,084 targets of terrorist infrastructure," Adrei Kartapolov, Colonel general of The Russian Army, said.

The red dots on this map provided by the conflict monitoring group IHS show the location of Russian air strikes. Most hitting areas near the Syria-Turkey border.

This has prompted more people to escape the bombing.

"With the Russian attacks, air strikes to Syria, a new phase has been started."

Huseyin Oru is the Vice President of IHH, an aid organization working directly with refugees on the ground in Syria.

"Unfortunately, new influx have started and many people have left their homes and are living on the streets now. They're going to the suburbs, and they're staying at schools and with their relatives. But if it continues like this, larger numbers will head toward Turkey and Lebanon," Huseyin Oru, vice president of IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation, said.

Turkey has long had an open door policy for Syrians escaping the bloodshed. It's now taken in more than two million refugees at a cost of eight billion U.S. dollars.

According to senior U.S. officials, actions by the Syrian government along with Russian air strikes have displaced at least 120,000 people. Civilians are paying the highest price. Since Russia's intervention, Greece has recorded its highest weekly influx of refugees and migrants from Turkey.

Last month, in a one week period, more than 56-thousand people, mostly Syrians, arrived on the Greek island of Lesvos.

That's when Germany, a country with a previous open-door policy, began signaling it would start limiting how many refugees it would let in.

Meanwhile, the EU is negotiating with Turkey a possible financial incentive to stop the flow.

"I don't think it's a question of capacity because some European countries are far more richer than Turkey, so they have greater financial capacity to accept greater number of refugees, but they don't want that," Burak Gurel with KOC University said.

Yet aid officials believe Turkey's policy toward refugees will continue, despite pressures from the EU.

"While they are under the bombs, how can you say to the people stay there and be killed. If the number have increased, of course it will be more difficult. But the situation will be the same, and we will take care of whoever comes from Syria and other neighboring countries, to help them feel secure in Turkey. We will do our best," Oru said.

Meanwhile, as the civil war in Syria gets more deadly, Turkey is adapting to the realization that many of their so-called 'guests' may never be going home.
