Turkey's offensive into Syria launched a new round of horror and death for fighters and civilians.
More than half a million people have been killed. Millions more have lost their homes, seeking safe refuge elsewhere. This is the toll of Syria's eight-year civil war. And when U.S. troops retreated from northeastern Syria in October, allowing for a new offensive by Turkey, a fresh wave of horrors was unleashed on local families and children as well as Kurdish soldiers who had been fighting ISIS alongside the U.S. military.
"I've seen this so many times covering this region," Thea Pedersen, a Danish freelance journalist covering the situation in northeastern Syria, toldPedersen's photographs, below, capture much of the human cost and devastation involved in this most recent offense. The latest round of agreements leave Turkey and Russia with power over what was Kurdish-held territory. Ankara will also get its long-desired 20-mile-deep buffer zone along the border and the lifting of U.S. sanctions.
