Iraq Reopens Border Crossing To Syrian Refugees

by Amwal Al Ghad English

Iraqi officials say a western border crossing with Syria has been reopened in order to receive refugees fleeing an escalating civil war in their country.

The mayor of Qaim, Farhan Fitkhan Farhan, says 100 Syrian refugees entered Iraq Tuesday and more would be let in on daily basis. But he says only women and children will be accepted while young men will be denied entry for security reasons.
