European Arms Dealers are Displacing Millions, Cradle to Grave ‘Displacement is the consequence of a business model’ In January 2018 the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs recorded that Turkish-led airstrikes were forcing the displacement of thousands of people in Afrin, northern Syria. “Over the 21 and 22 January period, many incidents of shelling and aerial bombardment were reported.. Hostilities reportedly caused people, especially those residing in communities near the border, to flee their homes to nearby caves in pursuit of safety.” “Local sources reported an incident of shelling on a poultry farm which hosted a number of [internally displaced persons] from southern rural Idleb within Afrin. The incident reportedly resulted in the death of seven people, including five children.”
