ISTANBUL, Oct 15 (Reuters) - The number of Syrian refugees housed in camps in southern Turkey has exceeded 100,000, the Turkish disaster management agency (AFAD) said on Monday, a level beyond which Ankara had previously said it would struggle to accommodate more.
AFAD said in a statement there were now 100,363 Syrians at more than a dozen camps in Turkish provinces along the border. (Writing by Daren Butler; Editing by Louise Ireland)
