Thousands Of Syrian Kurds Flee ISIL -- Al Jazeera
About 70,000 cross into Turkey after ISIL fighters take dozens of villages along border, escalating fears of massacre.
Tens of thousands of Syrian Kurds have crossed into Turkey over the past two days, fleeing an advance by fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL), who have seized dozens of villages close to the border, the UN's refugee agency says.
By Sunday, more than 70,000 refugees had crossed the border, said the UNHCR.
Meanwhile, Kurdish forces in Turkey issued a new call to arms to defend a border town in northern Syria from advancing ISIL fighters.
Turkey opened a stretch of the frontier on Friday after Kurdish civilians fled their homes, fearing an imminent attack on the border town of Ayn al-Arab, known as Kobani in Kurdish.
