Tens of thousands of Syrians are flooding into Iraq to escape fighting in Syria’s northeast. According to the United Nations, roughly 30,000 Syrians have crossed into Iraq since Thursday, when the border crossing was reopened, marking one of the largest mass migrations in the two-year conflict between anti-government rebels and President Bashar al-Assad. Nearly two million Syrians have fled since the conflict began.
