Although the border with Turkey remains open, the northernmost Syrian town of Azaz is still recovering from shelling that destroyed much of the town. Just getting into the town is a reminder of the carnage that continues right up to the border regions: a van transporting workers between Syria and Turkey displays bullet holes from fighting.
It's estimated that around 10,000 (some estimates touch as high as 17,000) refugees are currently trapped on the Syrian border, waiting to get into Turkey. Many refugees have been waiting there for up to three weeks, in squalid conditions.
