Syria fighting displaces 66,000 in five months
A U N humanitarian agency reports about 66,000 Syrians have been displaced amid five months of multi-sided clashes on the northern front near the Turkish border. U.S. backed Kurdish led forces, supported by airstrikes and 500 U.S. special operators, push toward IS held Raqqa while Turkey, Syria government forces, and opposition fighters vie for territory near al Bab and Manbij. The UN notes 40,000 displaced by the al Bab operation since its February capture.
