Is Iraq ready for the new Syrian refugees?

Is Iraq ready for the new Syrian refugees?

On October 9 after months of warning, Turkey launched an offensive across their southeast border into Syria. The move came after US President Donald Trump pulled his forces back from the border, effectively green lighting the operation. The move abandoned America’s Kurdish and northern Syrian allies who had led much of the fighting in the long campaign against ISIS in Syria. This week host James Haines-Young looks at the situation for the newly displaced refugees fleeing a Turkish offensive at home to seek safety in northwest Iraq. Firas Al Khateeb from the UNHCR, Jack Moore, our deputy foreign editor and Willy Lowry, our video journalist talk about the situation on the ground.
