A camp to host evacuees to be set up inside Syria

A camp to host people evacuated from Aleppo will be set up inside Syria near the border, senior Turkish officials told Reuters on Friday, and Turkey will continue to accept sick and wounded coming from the city.

Two potential sites, around 3.5 km (2.2 miles) inside Syria, have been identified, with the capacity to host up to 80,000 people, officials said, adding that they expected around 30,000 to 35,000 people to come.
