Cancer patients head for Turkey after border closure protests in NW Syria

Cancer patients are once again being allowed to cross the border from northwest Syria to Turkey to access essential medical care, after a vital crossing reopened.
The United Nations had said that the cross-border referral of cancer patients from the opposition-controlled area of Syria to Turkey would resume through the Bab al-Hawa border crossing on Wednesday.
Turkey is a last resort for many cancer patients hard-hit by the 12-year-long Syrian civil war.
Rebel controlled north-west Syria doesn't have enough doctors or medicine to help them.

Al Jazeera’s Nour Qormosh reports from the Bab El Hawa border crossing in Idlib province, northwest Syris.
