敘利亞在2011年爆發內戰時,土耳其最初採取開放政策,對逃離戰亂的人民表示接納。但敘利亞北方在2015年6月發生新一波衝突後,民眾除了得躲避空襲,也要逃離地面戰爭,入境土國的人數因此激增。聯合國難民署表示,在6月的前兩周,有超過兩萬三千名難民進入土耳其,其中超過7成是婦女和孩童。土國開始採取措施限制入境人數,敘國難民只好試圖用其他方式進入土耳其。

When conflict erupted in Syria in 2011, Turkey initially operated an open-door policy to people fleeing the violence. In June 2015, new fighting in northern Syria led to a sharp increase in border crossings, as civilians fled both airstrikes and ground battles. The UNHCR said that in the first half of June, more than 23,000 refugees crossed to Turkey, with some 70% of those being women and children. Turkey began to take measures to limit the numbers coming into the country, so people attempted other ways of entering.
