Turkish lira slump hits displaced families in Syria's northwest
Syrians displaced in Idlib get paid in Turkish lira and the value of their earnings started shrinking as an economic crisis spread over the border from Turkey.
Reuters - Amer Ezzeldin was already struggling to make ends meet in the northwestern Syrian province he fled to during the war in the country. Then the value of his earnings started shrinking as an economic crisis spread over the border from Turkey.
The 30-year-old, like many Syrians displaced in Idlib close to that frontier, gets paid in Turkish lira - a currency that has slumped against the U.S. dollar.
