(9 Sep 2012) Syrians fleeing the violence in their war-torn country remained stranded on Sunday along Turkey's border with Syria as they await permission to cross into safe territory.
Two weeks ago Ankara banned new arrivals until it could build more facilities to house the flow of refugees.
Turkey is already housing nearly 80-thousand Syrians in 10 camps.
The United Nations says nearly 250-thousand Syrian refugees are in neighbouring Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon and Iraq - including more than 100-thousand who were registered as refugees in August alone.
The UN estimates that more than 1.2 million (m) people have been displaced inside Syria, half of them children.
Activists say at least 23-thousand people have been killed during the 18-month uprising between rebels and President Bashar Assad's regime.
