Kurdish refugees in South-East Queensland have been anxious over the new developments in the Turkish-Kurdish clashes happening overseas.
Kurdish families were resettled in Toowoomba after the 2011 Syrian war, but many still have families unable to flee from the area.
2-year resident of Australia Khaled Ali says he hasn’t heard from his family since Turkish forces invaded Kurdish territory two weeks ago.
Mr Ali says “I tried to call them yesterday, but there was no connection, no network, so I am still waiting”.
There have been reports that there were deliberate disruptions of the network by Turkey.
