So the United Nations is warned of devastating consequences for civilians in syrias last rebel held province when 235000 people have fled the area in the past 2 weeks i made a renewed government offensive parts of it led have been on the daily aerial bombardment by russian backed Syrian Forces but the u. N. Says a shortage of fuel and volatile security situation is limiting movement out of the area those fleeing are also faced with bitter winter temperatures. There it is on the map many of them heading north of course towards the Turkish Border but the turkish president has warned his country cant cope with another influx of refugees from italy province russian backed Syrian Government forces theyre now focusing on tap during the rebel held city of matan man that area is key for damascus it sits on an important motorway which links the capital to aleppo once syrias largest city. It has more now from the mud out on them on the standard how to get. You can see civilians fleeing displacement from modern phenomenon continues same with socket city both are now empty of president s and all the surrounding villages was noteworthy is that the airstrikes have stopped in the last 2 days because of the bad weather to look like there may have been some civilians drones flying over the area but there hasnt been any shelling still the civil unions are fully in a must because of the fear of defensive there are no civilians not even birds. While turkish authorities have closed their border to Syrian Refugees fleeing the violence mohammed joe has more on that from the archaea in turkey. Most of these people have. Fled their homes heading to cities such as set our kids on the cup with all of the province others have gone to government. But the last. Month from the 80 s. Where the city and the forces have been. Most. Toxic. And strategic city that sits on the m 5 which assads forces are really keen to take from the rebels they have most of them come to the border and. Any of the Syrian Refugees to all of the comps are also fool so they are mostly in the open something up mix shift you know depending on Turkish Charities giving them warm food but they do not offer proposed that it to show or. Any other amenities will have a set up but come. With us on skype David Swanson hes the United Nations regional spokesman for the Syrian Crisis david lets stay with the turkish side of things for a moment if if the turkish authorities are close their side of the border to Syrian Refugees what does that mean for a large hundreds of thousands of people where can they go. Well this is obviously for us a very worrying Development Turkey has in the past and continues to be an incredibly generous host to the Syrian Refugees after almost 9 years of conflict hosting more than 3000000 people and do we continue to hope that the situation will improve at the moment right now the vast majority of the people being displaced in the area are moving northward are in northern italy and to urban areas. Close to the Turkish Border. And whats what are they going to i mean we talk about refugee camps of the silicates what is able what is able to be supplied to them by the United Nations and by other groups well as you can guess the situation on the ground continues to me quite fluid what makes it particularly difficult is as your reporter said we had an earlier figure of 235000 people being displaced that figure has now already increased were looking at. Devon sorry i hope you can still hear us but we cant actually hear you already cut out for a 2nd there. Yeah we cant go back to david just now unfortunately we will move on to some other news though an airliner which has crashed on takeoff and killing at least 15 people the back jet came down the airport smashing through a wall before hitting a house rescue as of worked in freezing temperatures to reach the 98 people on board were from the. Emergency crews calm the wreckage of the airliner torn in half the main body of the back barely recognizable its ria resting in a field the flight had just taken off from airport bound for the capital now soltani survivors say passengers screamed as the plane started shaking then tilted before smashing into a concrete faints and slamming into a 2 story house raisky has worked in subzero temperatures to save dozens of injured including 8 children see what you know we found 2 sets of skid marks from the back of the plane on the runway maining it touched it twice and mostly those passengers at the front of the aircraft were the ones who died in flight recorders have been found and have been brought in for inspection nobody will be left without state support we will provide the needed help to the families of the victims and the injured president kasim caiaphas formed a Government Commission and says anyone responsible for the crash will be in his words severely punished hes also declared a day of National Mourning on saturday because the plane itself is so rugged and well built that they are in very high demand. And its very difficult to get a good for 100 to die. Their life seems to go on because if they will mine time and theyve got a very long structural lot the governments ordered the airline to ground its fleet of dutch built jets which are more than 20 years old only flights have been suspended until crash investigations can work out how this happened brian al jazeera. Sky back to our story on the Syrian Refugees 230000 up and leaving the country at the moment weve got David Swanson back on skype United Nations regional spokesman for the Syrian Crisis david thanks for coming back we when we lost or you were talking about what these people can actually go to if i can cross the border into turkey they go into other areas what is grazing and. Well whats particularly challenging for members of the humanitarian community is that as you can imagine the situation on the ground is quite fluid and most of the people moving northward close to the Turkish Border and where they are trying to receive assistance the difficult part for us is that many of the aid workers and n. G. O. S themselves that were on the ground have themselves and their families been caught up in the violence they they themselves have also been displaced so its a particularly difficult situation in many of the ngo partners at had to suspend their operations and move northward into the areas to receive displaced people as they arrive and i guess the weather is making things pretty difficult as well absolutely winter and winter temperatures can be quite cold in this area and theres a dire need for humanitarian assistance particularly in the areas of shelter trying to get my head around all these numbers you know the headline weve been talking about today is 235000 in just 2 weeks i mean thats extraordinary isnt it a quarter of a 1000000 people adding on to. So many hundreds of thousands more all of her probably being displaced from other parts of the country just tell us a bit about the scale of this now sure i mean actually the figures have actually been increasing as we speak right now the figure that we now have is more than 204243000 people women children and men have been displaced between the 1st of december and the 25th of december ok upwards of 80 percent of nys Population Group are women and children now this comes on top of the displacement figures that we had from the end of april to the end of august where more than 400000 people have been displaced so what we have is a displacement crisis on top of another displacement crisis this area is home to scurry 4000000 people there who are 1000000 people in this area and more than half of them are i. D. P. s themselves extraordinary David Swanson thanks for talking to us david is the uns regional spokesman for the Syrian Crisis.

Sars that tactics of sitting on the bench and not trying to do anything active in in the public fields is wrong i prefer people who take action.
