The refugee influx into Turkey shows no signs of abating with hundreds, and possible thousands of mainly Syrian Kurds trying to cross into Turkey on Sunday.

The new arrivals, fleeing the IS onslaught as well as the intensifying US airstrikes, join between 130,000 - 160,000 other Syrian Kurds who have already fled north since IS stepped up its campaign to seize territory from Kurdish forces on 19 September.

However, border controls have been getting tougher with many refugees forced to wait at the border where they were handed emergency supplies by aid workers. These pictures were taken at the Yumurtalik border crossing in Sanliurfa, south-western Turkey.
