People who fled battles between Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and fighters from the Islamic State (IS) group in the Syrian village of Baghouz, arrive after crossing a desert in the back of a truck to a region controlled by the SFD in the countryside of the Deir Ezzor province on January 26, 2019. The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), backed by air strikes of the US-led coalition, are fighting to expel the last IS fighters from a few hamlets in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor. For days, hundreds have been fleeing what remains of the so-called “Hajin pocket” east of the Euphrates, SDF officials say. (Photo by Delil Souleiman/AFP Photo)
