ERBIL - More than 30 Syrian refugees arrived in the Kurdistan Region on Monday, as civilians continue to flee the war-affected areas in the neighboring country.

Tens of thousands of new refugees have been received by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) from Syria since October, when Turkey began an offensive against the Kurdish forces in northeast of the country.

The Joint Crisis Cooperation Center (JCC) of the KRG said in a statement that at least 34 refugees entered the autonomous region through the border crossing of Sehela on Monday.

It added that the new influx brought the total of number of refugees to 20,660 since 14th October, who have all been sheltered in Bardarash camp.
