Four foreign International Medical Corps (IMC) employees were detained and deported by the Turkish government last week. The IMC is a U.S.-based aid organization which works with Syrian refugees, including millions in the Turkish city of Gaziantep. The actions that President Erdogan and the Turkish government have taken since his referendum victory are especially alarming and reveal their efforts to combat their enemies both home and abroad. The Turkish government began cracking down on NGOs and other humanitarian aid organizations late last year amidst pro-government media making serious allegations against them. As more agencies are shut down in the country, thousands of Syrian refugees will be left without the aid and support that they desperately need which will further exacerbate the humanitarian crisis.
