Thousands flee Daesh-controlled areas in eastern Euphrates River

Thousands of Syrians were seen fleeing the eastern sector of Deir Ezzor countryside at the eastern banks of the Euphrates River in wake of the US decision to pull out from Syria and in fear of a possible Turkish offensive, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Monday.

Scores of vehicles carrying 4,000 elderly people, children and women left Daesh controlled areas towards the SDF-controlled ones where they have been transferred to Al-Omar Oilfield.
