He wants to be with them, but he's also worried about leaving his job and how the family will manage without an income.
Ruth Sherlock, NPR News in Turkey, on the border with Iran.
Hi, good morning.
Well, Michelle, people are coming out traumatized.
You know, Iran isn't letting...
Western journalists into the country, but speaking with Iranians here on the border, it really drives home the horror of this war for civilians.
Everyone was too scared to give their name.
As speaking with Western media has gotten people arrested in Iran, this man talked about his journey out.
It's a little hard to hear, but he's saying there was bombing through the night as he traveled, children killed in Iran.
He says he and his family have come to Turkey for shelter.
I also spoke with a doctor from Tehran who described the terror of being engulfed in smoke and feeling the backblast of a strike that hit close to her car on the journey out.
She says she's also witnessing many, many civilian casualties from these strikes.
You know, these are densely packed neighborhoods.
And she says residential buildings are also getting hit.
She's been treating civilians with horrific injuries, she says.
The Iranian Ministry of Health records 926 people killed in just these few days.
And despite all this, I saw a large number of people heading back into Iran.
Communications are largely down in the country and many people just said that they couldn't cope with not knowing if their families were okay and would rather be with them despite the danger.
Well, there's continued heavy bombardment by Israeli and US forces on Tehran and other cities.
And another thing we're watching closely is Iran's western border with Iraq.
