"Airstrikes now underway in northern Syria against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) will worsen an already heart-breaking refugee crisis, a Christian worker in the Middle East says.
"During just three days last week, at least 130,000 new Syrian refugees flooded across the border into Turkey because of an ISIS offensive in their hometowns. More than 3 million officially registered refugees have been driven out of the country amid the four years of crisis in Syria.
"'The current strikes inside Syria are bound to increase the already overwhelming flood of displaced people fleeing to find safety," Don Alan*, a Christian worker in the region, said. "Families desiring safety for their children will look for places that are safe and quiet.'"
