's offensive against Kurdish-controlled areas of northeastern Syria has displaced over 300,000 people, a report says.

Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Thursday that the rise in the number of people forced to flee was due to a fresh wave of displacement over the past few days from areas around Tal Abyad and Kobane and in Hasakeh province.

He said that most displaced people tried to move in with relatives in safer areas, some were sleeping rough in orchards and others in some of the 40 schools that have been turned into emergency shelters.

On Thursday, the ninth day of the onslaught, Ottoman Turkish forces heavily pounded areas in the border town of Ras al-Ayn. The UK-based group also said that Ottoman Turkish forces had taken control of half of the Kurdish town.

"There have been intensive Arclight airstrike

s on Ras al-Ain over the past three days," Abdel Rahman said.
