Anticipation is building in one Syrian community desperate for Turkey's help to drive the YPG terror group out of their city.

Tel Rifaat has been under YPG control for two years, and hundreds of thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes.

Many of those from Tel Rifaat want to go home. But they say they cannot do that without Turkey's help.
