Dozens of civilians have been killed over the last few days and aid agencies warn that nearly half a million people are at risk. The offensive began after Donald Trump pulled American troops out of the area, seen by many as a betrayal of the Kurdish troops who helped the U.S fight the so-called Islamic State. A warning - this report begins with pictures of grieving parents you might find distressing. ► #5News #News #Turkey ► Follow 5 News: Facebook: http://bit.ly/5NewsFB Twitter: http://bit.ly/5NewsTwitter ► About 5 News: Channel 5 News covers the key events of the day with a boldness to often lead on different stories to other news programmes and put people at the heart of its news reports.
