The number of migrants crossing into Van province,
Turkey, has climbed to 1,000 a day
Turkey has
arrested several hundred illegal migrants heading from Afghanistan towards
Europe in the past few days as a fresh exodus of people fleeing the advancing
Taliban gathers pace.
More than
200 Afghans were detained in a single incident as they attempted to board a
boat off the Aegean coast, the Turkish coastguard said, and 200 more were
arrested in Istanbul. Up to 1,000 are said to be crossing into Van, the eastern
Turkish province that borders Iran, every day, with many more trying to find
legal ways to leave Afghanistan if they can afford it.
