STORYLINE:
A ferry carrying 358 people from Tripoli arrived in southern Turkey on Sunday morning, the latest of many such trips which have been evacuating the war-torn country.
Arriving at Tasucu port in the southern province of Mersin, the ferry is now the fourth such vessel to arrive in Turkey since September 27th.
"Unfortunately, we live in a jungle, there are no human rights or anything," Yahya Nasser, one of those departed from Lebanon, said.
He said that he believed the West and the United States act as though they support human rights, "but in reality there is nothing."
The vessel also brought 96 trucks and automobiles in its hold.
The Lebanon-based Med Star company normally runs a bi-weekly route between Tripoli and Mersin, but has increased the frequency of passages since the escalation of the conflict with Israel.
Following the first arrival on September 27, there were further arrivals on October 1st, 3rd, and now today the 6th.
A total of 1360 evacuees have arrived in Turkey since the route first began, including several Turkish citizens who were unable to fly out of the country.
