In a written statement released on Ocrober 12, AFAD reminded that there set up 5 tent cities in Hatay, 2 in Sanliurfa, 3 in Gaziantep and one each in Osmaniye, Kahramanmaras and Adiyaman and one container city in Kilis.

AFAD said that more than 143,140 Syrians entered Turkey and that 42,777 Syrians returned to Syria on their own will.
