A Syrian Kurdish child, fleeing with their family from their home in the outskirts of the northern city of Aleppo after they were seized by Islamist-led rebels, arrives with their belongings to Tabaqah, on the western outskirts of Raqa, on December 2, 2024. Syrian Kurds fleeing an onslaught by Ankara-backed groups that seized the town where they were living began arriving in Kurdish-held safe areas further east, a local official said. The US-backed, Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) had said on December 2, that it was seeking to evacuate Kurdish civilians around Aleppo province to areas it controls.
