A Syrian woman receives a box full of food from a member of Turkish Armed Forces during a food aid distribution, after some Syrian families returned their homes which were cleared from PKK/PYD terrorist organizations during Operation Olive Branch to Afrin, in Afrin Region of Aleppo, Syria on January 26, 2018. Turkey launched Operation Olive Branch on January 20, 2018.

When the YPG first took control of Syria's Afrin in 2012, thousands of the region's residents were forced to flee. 

Now as the Turkish military and Free Syrian Army push back the terror group, those villagers are finally getting a chance to return home.
