Heartbreaking moment Desperate Children, Men and Women storm barbed wire fence to escape from ISIS killers

Women clutching their children could be seen climbing through the fence after the refugees found a gap in which they could slip through
Syrian refugees today broke through a barbed wire fence in a desperate bid to flee from the ISIS-held border town of Tal Abyad and cross into Turkey.

Turkish troops had watched on helplessly yesterday as heavily-armed ISIS terrorists blocked the border crossing at Tal Abyad, where some 13,000 civilians have crossed over the past ten days. The men, women and children were stopped at gunpoint almost within touching distance of the border town of Akcakale. See more heartwrecking photos...


Syrian refugees waiting on the Tal Abyad border cheered in delight as they heard that Kurdish forces were making headway towards the ISIS-held town before attempting to battle through the barbed wire which separates Syria from Turkey as they desperately tried to flee 
Young children were held by their parents as they were pulled through the barbed wire fencing to help them escape the clutches of ISIS

However, today - backed by allied rebels and air strikes by a U.S.-led coalition - Kurdish forces pressed forward with their offensive on Tal Abyad and advanced to within three miles of the border town.

Syrian refugees waiting at the border cheered in delight as they heard that Kurdish militia were making headway towards the ISIS stronghold before attempting to battle through the barbed wire which separates Syria from Turkey.

He said: 'Tal Abyad is almost completely surrounded.'
Photos showed thousands of would-be refugees queuing behind the barbed wire seeking asylum. They later could be seen breaking their way through the metal fence, with many crying in desperation as they tried to cross over into Turkey.
