The number of Syrians trying to cross into Turkey amid an upsurge of fighting in northern Syria has nearly doubled.
The governor of the Turkish border town of Kilis said 35,000 refugees had reached the border area - up from an estimated 20,000 yesterday.
Turkey says it is prepared to help the refugees but the frontier remains shut.
They are fleeing a Syrian government offensive on rebel-held positions near the northern city of Aleppo.
