They have clawed back dozens of towns and villages from the jihadists and allied Turkey-backed rebels, sparking one of the worst humanitarian disasters of the almost nine-year-old civil war. The assault has forced nearly one million people, mostly women and children, to flee their homes and shelters in the region. (Photo by AAREF WATAD / AFP)
