March 19, 2012- Turkish border, Syria. Syrian families fleing the war zone are resting near a camp fire a few hundred meters from the Turkish border. Local rebels facilitate these passages into Turkey. The rebels still hold on a mountainous area around a few villages such as Al Chatouria. All around are Bashar Assad’s troops trying to finish off the rebellion against his regime. Many civilians who cannot return to their village chose to leave forTurkey where they will find shelter in camps organized by the Turkish authorities. (Jonathan Alpeyrie/Polaris)
