Battle for Kobane

Mohammed Bashir brought his family out of Kobane and across the Turkish border to keep them safe from Islamic State. Now they are staying in a refugee camp in Turkey. But the city where the camp is located is struggling to cope with the influx of refugees from Syria. Our report looks at the lives of people who fled Kobane.
