Nevertheless. a snapshot of how things stand at this moment would look something like this: Perhaps 300.000 Kurds have crossed into Turkey and almost a like number are located In border regions of nearby Iraq. Iran has accepted about 300.000 Kurds also and says It is preparing to admit about 200.000 more. Iran has also received about 40.000 refugees from the southern regions of Iraq. Finally. there are perhaps 15.000 to 20.000 persons currently located in the part of southern Iraq presently controlled by the coalition. An international relief effort of some dimension is now being organized for the relief of Kurds who have fled to the vicinity of Turkey.
